Qanon Shaman Files $40 Trillion Lawsuit Against Trump

Jacob Chansley, known as the QAnon Shaman, has filed a $40 trillion lawsuit in Arizona naming Donald Trump and numerous other entities. The 26-page filing reads more like a manifesto than a conventional legal complaint, written as a single long paragraph.

In the lawsuit, Chansley claims he is the rightful leader of a new government and insists the country should follow only the original Constitution and Bill of Rights. Alongside Trump, he lists the Federal Reserve, NSA, IMF, World Bank, Israel, Elon Musk’s X Corp, T-Mobile, DARPA, and Warner Bros as defendants.

He divides the $40 trillion in damages into three parts: $38 trillion to erase government debt, $1 trillion to rebuild the nation, and $1 trillion for personal pain and suffering, citing “personal, emotional, mental, and spiritual torture” over years.

Chansley also proposes that the Federal Reserve mint a single $40 trillion gold coin as his first act as “first president of the New Constitutional Republic of the United States.” Many exhibits referenced in the filing were inaccessible online.

The complaint accuses an elite group of violating constitutional rights and includes unverified claims, such as the NSA impersonating actress Michelle Rodriguez and Trump emailing him after January 6. Legal experts called the claims “wildly specious,” noting the mix of state and federal issues may move the case to federal court.

Chansley gained attention during the January 6 Capitol riot, was sentenced to 41 months in prison, and released to a halfway house in 2023. Since then, he unsuccessfully ran for Congress in Arizona and shifted his stance toward Trump, initially celebrating a 2025 pardon before later criticizing him.

The lawsuit continues his longstanding themes: attacks on globalists, government spying claims, and demands for a new system rooted in the Bill of Rights. Its future depends on court jurisdiction and whether defendants are served, though early dismissal is likely.
