The Central Park Five, who now refer to themselves as the "Exonerated Five", have filed a defamation lawsuit against Donald Trump, claiming he falsely accused them of killing someone during a 1989 case that didn't involve any deaths, according to a report.
In 1989 five Black and Latino teenagers were wrongfully convicted of raping a jogger, Trisha Meili, in Central Park in New York City. Former President Trump took out full-page ads calling for the reinstatement of the death penalty, falsely accusing the group of murder.
