Meta Platforms has agreed to pay roughly $25 million to settle a 2021 lawsuit that President Trump brought against the company and its CEO after the social-media platform suspended his accounts following the attack on the U.S. Capitol that year, according to people familiar with the agreement.
...
“It looks like a bribe and a signal to every company that corruption is the name of the game,” Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D., Mass.) said in a statement. “After Meta pays to play, what does Mark Zuckerberg expect as a return on this investment?”

Zuckerberg met with the new president in November, 2024. Subsequently, he "donated $1 million to Trump’s inaugural fund." According to the Wall Street Journal article, "Last year, Trump warned that Zuckerberg could go to prison if he tried to rig the election against him."
...
"...in early January, 2025, Zuckerberg returned to Mar-a-Lago for a full day of mediation."
...
The Meta lawsuit was one of a series of legal actions that Trump, freshly voted out of office, brought in July 2021 against social-media companies that had suspended his accounts. He also sued Twitter, now renamed X, and YouTube, along with their corporate leaders. A federal judge dismissed the Twitter suit, and the Google suit was administratively closed in 2023 but could be reopened.

ABC settled a lawsuit by paying $15 million.

Will he sue Sen. Elizabeth Warren next for accusing him of bribery?
