AI Overview
Reports of Donald Trump stating he has never lost a lawsuit are contradicted by the public record of his long history of legal battles
. Both in his personal capacity and during his time in office, Trump has lost numerous lawsuits.
Examples of legal losses:
- Civil fraud trial: In February 2024, Trump, his company, and his top executives were ordered to pay over $350 million (plus interest, totaling over $450 million) for financial fraud in New York. A judge also temporarily barred Trump from leading any New York company. While an appeals court did reduce the penalty, the ruling stands.
- E. Jean Carroll sexual abuse and defamation cases:
- In May 2023, a jury found Trump liable for sexually abusing and defaming writer E. Jean Carroll and awarded her $5 million in damages.
- In January 2024, a separate jury awarded Carroll an additional $83.3 million in damages for defamatory comments Trump made about her while he was president.
- Failed election-related lawsuits: After the 2020 election, Trump and his allies filed numerous lawsuits alleging voter fraud. These were dismissed by courts across the country, with his own attorney general stating there was no widespread fraud.
- Defamation suit against author Timothy O'Brien: In 2011, an appellate court dismissed Trump's $5 billion defamation lawsuit against author Timothy O'Brien, who had questioned Trump's billionaire status in a book. Trump lost the suit and was denied an appeal.
- Challenge to Scottish wind farm: Trump sued the Scottish government in 2011 to stop the construction of an offshore wind farm he claimed would spoil the view from his golf course. The U.K. Supreme Court unanimously ruled against him in 2015.
- Lawsuits against his administration: During his first presidency, the Trump administration lost a high number of cases, particularly those involving challenges to federal agency actions on deregulatory or policy issues. For instance, a lawsuit forced the administration to reverse course on weakening school meal nutrition standards
Despite saying he never settles cases, Trump settles another case
For a guy who's boasted that he never agrees to out-of-court legal settlements, Donald Trump agrees to a lot of out-of-court legal settlements.
