(CNBC) "President Donald Trump has demanded that the Department of Justice pay him a whopping $230 million in compensation for its criminal investigations of him after his first term in the White House ended, The New York Times reported Tuesday."

"The Times noted that any potential settlement might have to be approved by people he has appointed during his second term."

"One of them, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, previously represented Trump as a defense attorney in criminal cases against the president."

“ 'I guess they probably owe me a lot of money,' Trump said at the White House later Tuesday, referring to the demands."
