Central Park 5 Sue Trump for Defamation Over Debate Comments
Briefly

The lawsuit claims that during the presidential debate, former President Trump made false statements about the Central Park Five, implying they pleaded guilty and were responsible for a murder that did not occur.
The group, known as the Central Park Five, collectively spent decades wrongfully imprisoned before being exonerated, highlighting the impact of racial injustice in the criminal justice system.
Kamala Harris pointed out Trump's history of divisive rhetoric regarding race, notably his full-page ad calling for the death penalty in the case, which intensified racial tensions.
Trump's comments during the debate have reignited discussions about the misuse of race in America's legal and political arenas, as the exonerated men seek justice for defamation.
