Trump slapped with massive lawsuit alleging ‘Epstein-identical’ trafficking operation
U.S. President Donald Trump spoke with reporters while traveling from Florida to Washington, D.C., on November 30, 2025.
A new lawsuit filed on November 24 in Arizona claims that President Donald Trump was involved in a trafficking scheme that the filing says was very similar to the one connected to Jeffrey Epstein. The lawsuit asks for $310 million in damages. These claims come from the plaintiffs and have not been proven in court.
The lawsuit names Trump both personally and in his role as president. It also names Elon Musk and Bill Gates. According to the filing, both Musk and Gates had been inside Epstein’s home in the past, based on news reports and, in Musk’s case, his own acknowledgment.
The people who filed the lawsuit—whose names were removed for privacy—say that Trump and the others ran a trafficking and exploitation operation for eight years. They claim it began in 2018 and continued under Trump’s current administration. This information comes from a copy of the lawsuit shared by the local outlet BOCA News Now.
One of the major claims in the lawsuit is that Trump began “grooming” the main plaintiff—a person who was a minor at the time—starting in 1998, the year that person was born. The lawsuit also claims that Trump used the Gates Foundation as a way to hide and silence the alleged operation, and that he helped arrange “coordinated sexual assaults.” These are allegations made by the plaintiffs, not established facts.
The lawsuit goes on to claim that the minor plaintiff’s infant daughter was taken from her as punishment for filing lawsuits. The plaintiffs say this mirrors what Epstein was accused of doing—using threats related to child custody to pressure mothers who took legal action.
Trump is not currently facing any criminal charges related to these accusations. He has repeatedly denied wrongdoing connected to Epstein. Epstein died in jail in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex-trafficking charges.
The plaintiffs are asking for at least $310 million in damages, more than $134 million in legal fees, and a court order that would give the lead plaintiff full custody of her daughter. They also requested that the case be fast-tracked so a jury trial could take place by December 20.
