Trump Hit With Another Massive Lawsuit—This Time, From Central Park 5
October 21, 2024 / /
Donald Trump was sued by the Central Park Five Monday for defamation over comments he made during the September 10 presidential debate in Philadelphia.
The group of five men were charged and convicted of the rape and assault of a white female jogger in New York’s Central Park in 1989, in a case that garnered national attention. The five Black and Hispanic men were just teenagers when they were convicted. More than a decade later, DNA evidence exonerated them and a serial rapist confessed to the crime.
During the debate, Trump falsely claimed that the five pleaded guilty, that they killed someone, and that Mayor Bloomberg agreed with him, according to the legal filing.
This is a developing story.
