President Donald Trump responded to a report he's seeking compensation from the Department of Justice. He said he'd donate any awarded damages.

The New York Times reports Trump is seeking about $230 million from the Justice Department as compensation for federal investigations into him. Sen. Chris Murphy joins to discuss this “brazenly corrupt” move.

One person called the proposed payment "the most corrupt act in presidential history," and "just a straight up looting of the taxpayers."

Trump told reporters that he's seeking up to hundreds of millions of dollars in compensation from the government for its scuttled investigations and prosecutions of him.

Trump has submitted two complaints seeking compensation through an administrative claims process, according to the New York Times.

President Donald Trump wants the Justice Department to pay roughly $230 million as a settlement for investigations he previously faced, sources familiar with the matter confirmed to ABC News.

Trump said he could donate any repayment to charity or use it to help fund a new ballroom under construction at the White House.
