Lawsuit Overview
This is a quick overview of major known lawsuits involving Donald Trump or his business interests.

Federal Lawsuits
The following list was generated by searching the federal PACER database for all cases listing Donald Trump as a party. We have removed some cases from the result set that clearly did not involve President Trump. Some of the cases remaining in this list may have involved defendants or plaintiffs who merely share a name with Donald Trump.
IMPORTANT CAVEAT: Donald Trump has been a celebrity for more than forty years. Celebrities are often named in lawsuits filed by inmates and/or the mentally ill. We are going to use the term Frivolous Lawsuits to identify these cases. In some instances, these cases are anything but "frivolous" - they are often filed by people faced with serious and deeply sad problems. The cases are united, however, by the fact that the real Donald Trump had no actual awareness of or participation in the lawsuits.
