Donald Trump stated he would resolve remaining claims regarding contaminated drinking water at Camp Lejeune. He noted that his administration had provided $1 billion in cash settlements to affected veterans and families, preferring the money go directly to them rather than to attorneys. Trump also tied the resolution of these remaining claims to the outcome of the midterm elections, stating the money would only be available if Republicans retained control of Congress. Laura Loomer, a conservative activist, criticized the Justice Department over the compensation being offered to some people.
