YouTube has agreed to pay $US22 million ($33.46 million) to US President Donald Trump as part of a settlement to multiple plaintiffs who were banned from the platform following the January 6 riots at the Capitol.

According to documents filed in federal court in California, Mr Trump's $US22 million will be contributed to the Trust for the National Mall and $US2.5 million will go to other plaintiffs, including the American Conservative Union.

Mr Trump sued parent company Alphabet and other social media companies after the platforms suspended his accounts in 2021.

It follows a simple settlement from other sites that banned the president.

Meta, the parent company of Facebook and Instagram, in January settled a lawsuit brought by Mr Trump, agreeing to pay $US25 million.
