President Trump loses bid to end Central Park Five defamation case
CBSN
President Trump has lost his bid to end a defamation lawsuit filed by members of the so-called Central Park Five, a federal judge ruled.
Mr. Trump is accused of making false statements during his 2024 debate with then-Vice President Kamala Harris about the five Black and Latino men who were wrongly convicted of raping a White female jogger in New York City in 1989.
In her ruling, Pennsylvania U.S. District Court Judge Wendy Beelestone allowed the plaintiffs to amend their complaint and the case to continue, despite the president's legal team asserting nothing he said amounts to defamation.

Views of the Trump administration's deportation program headed into this weekend with positive net approval from Americans, including continued strong backing from the Republican base — but also heavily shaped by contrasting views about which people, and how many, are being targeted for deportation.
