So sad that this story never broke out in the final weeks before the election.
Because if it had, Trump would have scored an extra million or two votes, easy.
@duelenigma7732
Justice for America would have Trump in jail for being a RAPO!
@darekdallavalle4074
What losers and pawns
@clementfontaine5547
It's not only a matter of money here. Trump will most likely have to spend (additional )years in prison for that blatant diffamation. unless of course he can become president and save his dirty a** by screwing up all the lawsuits against him.
@Sarah-yj6lf
DNA doesn't lie. Trump does.
@jiggathakid2913
They must b out of money
😂
@jdaily2293
Is this their October Surprise? lol do better
@KDBHonda256
Another lawsuit thats going nowhere. Did they even listen to what Trump said? He never defamed them.
@Randizzl3
This reporting is terrible, clearly biased, great opinions guys. 👌🏼Get lost NBC.
@atomicwedgie8709
They did it. Liars.
@DragonFlySpirit-ph9mo
Do these five people realize they are being used as a political weapon? Did these people contact the attorney or did the shark contact them? Trump stated they plead guilty. They did ultimately plead guilty, which led everyone to believe that they were guilty.
no logical, reasonable, intelligent person will believe that this is anything but politically motivated. Sickening!
@CathyCampbell-Mosley-uy1ee
Sue them Trump
@desireelee5390
These guys plead guilty, please come off with that. What’s funny is why did other politicians thought this back then why aren’t they suing them? They lost me now since they have sharpton on their side they’re gonna lose 😂
Also, at the debate trump said they plead guilty those words were true so imho this will be thrown out
@valerie-e9i
see misusing FBA men in this matter is why theu voting Trump ..and Trump was a Democrat when he done that add ..so stop democrats..this is very ugly
@Reef2402
1989-Donald Trump used his money, influence, and fame⛳🏌️ to help railroad 5 NY innocent young teens for a Central Park crime they did not commit. They were coerced in making false confession under stress, pressure of long hours w/o lawyers or parents present. Trumps voice was instrumental in 5 convictions, and the newspaper ad he put out helped flame the then anger most like him in NY had for these scapegoated young boys. Many years passed, and another person who (was not part of the original 5) confessed that he alone was the cause of the incident that tragic night. After those 5 who served many years in jail then released, the DA, judges, rogue police or Trump never apologized for the way they were falsely accused and mistreated. Even today, he shows anger for those 5 Black and Brown innocent Men who never got any real justice. 🤨
@LadySekhmet-Returns
Who's Latino they look like black men to me they might have some some something in a background but they were black come on man don't play that game
@LadySekhmet-Returns
That was the only thing that I didn't like that both of them bring it up Kamala and Donald Trump brung up the Central Park 5 and I was trying to figure that out why did they bring that up it had nothing to do with that debate but Kamala bring it up she's just as guilty
@Mr.V-7
The reparation checks didn't play out guess we're taking this route to make some fast easy cash.
@blahbaconblah
What is a "dangerously liberal" agenda? When did human rights become dangerous?
@germandarling123
The comments don't pass the vibe check. 🤨
@ginocagliesi9010
Trump will never apology to does 5 men because if I does hit will show Trump lies end in cout hi will lose 100% nothing new whit Trump is the one going to jail after election
@hayzoleyez88
So NOW you want to file a claim against Trump….decades later. They’ve already been cleared.
@Rani123-d7k
A sad and pathetic attempt by d democrats because they are losing black men…this is just another ridiculous attempt to interfere with d elecion…smh
@kredivinity2486
He said that because they said they were guilty, even trump says that, the he says they said they weren’t guilty…like come on. Maybe he spoke to soon but it’s not defamation if it’s some YOU SAID
@zupcic92
Trump 2024❤
They’re getting desperate
@Kevin1234B
Another sad attempt to take Trump down 😩🙄 give it up Trump will be president 🇺🇸
@jamesbomd3503
Of course they can request that Donald Trump makes a retraction
but they don't want that do they They want a big fat juicy payout
Like a payout they got from New York state when they were exonerated.
@richardsage3139
If these guys were innocent so were the texas seven this has Kamala harris written all over it
@gregsands1328
They should also sue Kamala for binging up something that happen 35 years ago, just for political reasons- just saying
@USAcit
Go home, losers! The lawyer who orchestrated this is very stupid😂
@Kristine-x6d
No one in the right mind pleads guilty if they were innocent.
They just want money just like all the other welfare recipients in society, lazy lazy. Disgusting lazy people
@Kristine-x6d
I guarantee these Misfits. Have a record don't like them don't trust them.
@RosesRblue66
If this had happened to each of you calling this stupid or whatever and spent time in prison for something you didn’t do, you would be doing the same thing!!!
But you all will forgive trump anything and everything that is pitiful! Have some standards.
@LessmanNungwehim
Trump/Vance 2024. Kamala is too dumb to vote for. NBC is fake news…..
@aaronsmith9083
Im not a fan of trump but this is ridiculous. Of course trump was wrong to take out an add in 1989 but remember that he was merely a citizen who was told these boys were guilty just like the rest of us. He obviously would not have done it knowing what he knows now.
@Torrque
Holy cow! I have never seen a comment thread with more pathetic improper english skills from most of the comments. Sheesh! Go back to school, people. Learn your native language. Learn some grammar skills.
@samueljames9342
I guess 41 million just isn't enough
@Catherine-ty8ss
No one knows who these guys are by sight. They arent that famous. What possible more damages can they have added to them? This is about fame.
@samueljames9342
He was commenting on what was published in the MEDIiA at the time.
@on1daily
Not falling for the shenanigans. Please stop it! TRUMP 2024!
