Tenants of the Trump Parc apartment block sued the Trump-owned company Park South Associates, alleging that Donald Trump was forcing out tenants using various abusive tactics so that he could demolish the building. Trump didn’t win the case.
1997
Jill Harth accused Trump of sexual harassment and assault. The lawsuit was settled for an undisclosed amount. The suit was settled alongside a 1995 breach of contract lawsuit.

The State of New York sued Trump after allegations of deceptive conduct and fraud at Trump University. The Supreme Court found Donald Trump to be personally liable.

Many government officials and civil rights groups were angered, and Trump’s decision resulted in several lawsuits. Although slight modifications were made after the lawsuits, Trump’s travel ban still stands.
