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.

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.
