President Donald Trump's personal attorney, John Q. Kelly, of Greenwich, gave News 12 Connecticut an exclusive interview Monday about a major legal victory he helped the president secure.
"It's a great feeling to be sitting beside President Trump at this pivotal moment in history," Kelly told News 12's Frank Recchia.
YouTube agreed to pay $24.5 million to settle a lawsuit Kelly had filed on behalf of the president after the social media giant had "deplatformed" Trump in the wake of the Jan. 6 Capitol riots, according to a dismissal motion filed in a federal court in San Francisco Monday afternoon.
"YouTube was being coerced and acting at the behest of Biden administration officials to censor the President, which amounted to a violation of President Trump's free-speech rights," Kelly said.
Neither YouTube nor its parent company have issued any statement following the dismissal.
