"A federal judge on Thursday ruled that a defamation lawsuit against Donald Trump from the “Central Park Five” can move forward.

U.S. District Judge Wendy Beetlestone, out of Philadelphia, ruled that a defamation lawsuit had enough evidence to proceed,” Reuters was first to report. The lawsuit was filed in October by Yusef Salaam, Raymond Santana, Kevin Richardson, Antron Brown, and Korey Wise. The five men were wrongfully convicted in 1989 of the rape of a white jogger in Central Park. They were acquitted in 2002 following a confession and new DNA evidence. The men spent years in prison for a crime they did not commit." - 10/13/2025.

He’s still out doing the same old, same old, only it’s worse because now he has the DOJ at his fingertips.

Nevertheless, I am happy to see this and I hope that it results in a multi million dollar award for these young men.

Unlike the ridiculous cases he's been filing against those he doesn't happen to like - in other words, those who are doing their jobs!
