The USA PotatoTrump Directs DOJ to Seek the Death Penalty in DC “in All Appropriate Cases”
Trump’s executive order is “designed to spread fear,” Free DC says, “something we know authoritarians always do.”
JamesWNealHe would have sent the #centralparkfive to El Salvador if he'd had the power, and we know damned well it turned out they were innocent. Know how we know? DUE PROCESS.
NeilWhilst he'll squirm for sure, will Trump once again be able to avoid accountability for his past lies in this, a civil lawsuit brought against him?
The Supreme Court's ruling that Trump has 'Presidential immunity' only applies to crim matters.

Judge denied #Trump's motion to dismiss #defamation lawsuit brought by #CentralParkFive aka the #ExoneratedFive, based on Trump debate claim that they "pled guilty," although none did. Some did confess, but recanted.

As #Trump seeks a second term in the White House as the Republican nominee in the Nov. 5 election, he has continued to make public statements implying guilt on the part of the #CentralParkFive, suggesting that they were responsible for some crimes that occurred in the park — including another brutal assault.
Trump’s comments at the debate reached an enormous television audience & were further amplified in widespread news coverage.

The #CentralParkFive *alleged* [we all saw it] in a federal #defamation lawsuit filed in Pennsylvania that #Trump falsely claimed during his debate against VP #KamalaHarris that the men pleaded guilty after being charged in the case as teenagers & that they had killed someone. The defendants in fact were cleared of wrongdoing. And the victim of the infamous attack suffered life-threatening injuries but survived.
[side note Bloomberg was not the mayor at the time]
