A spokesperson for Google, which owns YouTube, referred ABC News to the notice of settlement when contacted for comment on Monday.
YouTube suspended Trump's account following the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol, saying at the time that an uploaded video violated its policy for inciting violence. It restored Trump's channel more than two years later, citing that voters could "hear equally from major national candidates in the run-up to an election."
Trump's lawsuit alleged that YouTube prevented him from "exercising his constitutional right of free speech" by banning him indefinitely from the platform.

In January, Metaagreedto settle with Trump by making a donation of $22 million to his presidential library and paying $3 million in legal fees, according to a letter from Meta's attorneys.
In February, X agreed to pay about $10 million to settle a lawsuit brought by Trump, the Wall Street Journalreported.
