President-elect Donald Trump has filed a motion to try to toss out the lawsuit against him by the exonerated "Central Park Five" — the group of five Black and Latino men who were initially convicted of a brutal rape in New York City in the late 1980s but later cleared as innocent.

Won't it be fucking crazy if/when these people fail to see justice again?

It will! I don't even understand why he's bothering with this--out of legal shit to waste time and money on? Still having trouble sleeping knowing those people were cleared of their accusations? I'll never claim to understand him, Trump is truly a weird asshole

It's because he took out a full page add against them when it happened or something so by exonerating them means he was wrong, which he cannot allow.
