Former President Donald Trump faces yet another legal battle this week — a civil trial in the Bronx brought by five men who say they were roughed up by Trump’s bodyguards while protesting outside his namesake tower seven years ago.
The suit brought by Efrain Galicia, Gonzalo Cruz Franco, Miguel Villalobos, Florencia Tejeda Perez and the late Norberto Garcia seeks unspecified damages for assault and battery claims in Bronx Supreme Court for their violent clash with Trump’s security on Sept. 3, 2015.
“Absent some 3 A.M. surprise, we have every expectation of proceeding with jury selection on Monday,” said the mens’ lawyer, Ben Dictor.
