Donald Trump has asked a federal judge in Pennsylvania to toss out the defamation lawsuit filed against him by members of the Central Park Five over comments the president-elect made about them during the presidential debate earlier this year, claiming his statements are protected by state law.
The filing asserts that the suit filed against Trump is nothing more than “an attempt to stifle constitutionally protected speech” with claims that are barred by law and “legally deficient.”
Trump’s response was filed Tuesday, just days after his legal team successfully ousted the presiding judge in the case, arguing that his longstanding personal relationship with the plaintiffs’ lead attorney raised concerns about the judge’s impartiality.
In the filed complaint, Antron Brown, Kevin Richardson, Raymond Santana, Korey Wise and Yusef Salaam claim that during his lone debate with Kamala Harris, Trump “falsely stated that Plaintiffs killed an individual and pled guilty to the crime.”

I'm sure this attempt to get the suit thrown out will go nowhere, but it's a shame some judge will have to waste time on it. 
The Orange Hellbeast just can't stand to be wrong about ANYTHING. The fact that those guys were exonerated is obviously still sticking in his craw all these years later.
They'll probably win the suit and be awarded a lot of $$$, in which case he'll keep on bad mouthing them like he did with E. Jean Carroll. Then they'll take him back to court and be awarded even more $$$$$, like E. Jean was, because that's how stupid he is..
.
An easily wounded ego and an inability to keep one's mouth shut can be a very expensive combination, as Giuluani is getting ready to find out, due to his continued attacks on Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss. He and Trump are both too WAY stupid for their own good.
I don't think they'll get anywhere. 
Repeatedly, if I'm not mistaken.
