The Exonerated Five sue ex-President Trump for defamation over false statements about their 1989 case.
The Exonerated Five, formerly known as the Central Park Five, have filed a defamation lawsuit against former President Donald Trump in federal court. They allege Trump made false statements during a debate, claiming they pleaded guilty and were responsible for a 1989 assault, which led to their wrongful conviction. The group, exonerated in 2002, seeks compensatory and punitive damages, arguing Trump's comments caused emotional distress.
