Which individuals and entities are named as defendants in the $310 million civil suit against Donald Trump?

1. What the filings — as reported — say about who’s being sued

Multiple outlets covering the November 24, 2025 complaint identify Donald Trump as a named defendant and report that the suit lists other high‑profile private figures: at least Elon Musk and Bill Gates are named in several accounts ^{[1] [2]}. BocaNewsNow’s summary of the Palm Beach filing additionally says the complaint names “federal agencies, and other high‑profile figures” and alleges a sprawling conspiracy mirroring the Jeffrey Epstein network ^[2]. DigitalChew’s coverage likewise lists Trump, Musk and Gates among the defendants ^[1].

2. What plaintiffs are asking for

Reporting says plaintiffs demand at least $310 million in compensatory damages, seek more than $134 million in attorneys’ fees, request injunctive relief (including return of custody of the lead plaintiff’s daughter), and ask for other remedies such as punitive damages and sweeping injunctions against use of disputed technologies ^{[1] [3] [2]}. Raw Story emphasizes requests for injunctive relief and custody restoration as central elements of the complaint ^[3].

3. The allegations and tone of the complaint as reported

Several reports describe the suit as characterizing the alleged operation as “Epstein‑identical” and detail extreme accusations including trafficking, attempted murder, and long‑term exploitation over nearly a decade ^{[3] [2]}. BocaNewsNow summarizes the filing as accusing defendants of participating in an “Epstein‑identical trafficking and exploitation venture” spanning nearly a decade and links the new suit to prior default‑judgment cases in other states ^[2]. Raw Story highlights allegations that plaintiffs were targeted with violent attempts on their lives and that the operation allegedly mirrors Epstein’s network ^[3].

4. Discrepancies, scope and reporting caution

News outlets vary in how broadly they identify defendants: some name only Trump, Musk and Gates ^[1], while BocaNewsNow and other local reporting indicate a wider roster that may include federal agencies and unnamed institutions ^[2]. None of the provided excerpts reproduce the complaint’s full docket or defendant list, and available sources do not publish the formal civil‑court docket or a complete enumeration of every named defendant (not found in current reporting). That leaves open the possibility that initial media summaries compress, extrapolate or selectively name defendants from a longer complaint.

5. Context from past litigation and why this matters

Trump has been a frequent defendant in high‑profile civil suits in recent years; earlier civil cases have named him alongside family members and corporate entities, underscoring that multi‑defendant civil actions against him are not unprecedented ^{[4] [5]}. The Palm Beach filing’s high damage demand and the invocation of extreme allegations guarantee intense scrutiny, rapid defensive motions over jurisdiction and credibility, and immediate public and political fallout if the suit proceeds to discovery ^[1].

6. What to watch next

Journalistic standards require checking the actual court docket and the complaint text for definitive defendant lists and legal claims; current reporting identifies major names but does not supply the full filing on the record in the cited excerpts (not found in current reporting). Expect early defense filings challenging venue, jurisdiction and pleading sufficiency, and look for local Palm Beach court dockets or official filings to confirm whether federal agencies or additional corporate entities are formally named ^{[2] [1]}.

Limitations: this analysis relies solely on the provided reporting; the published excerpts do not include the full civil docket or a page‑by‑page reproduction of the complaint, so definitive enumeration of every named defendant cannot be confirmed from these sources (not found in current reporting).
