Lawsuit against Donald Trump: Election Day court filings: Donald Trump filed the lawsuit at his Mar-a-Lago home; Here's everything you need to know about it

A file filed on election day now shows that Donald Trump was subpoenaed in a defamation case, which was served on Trump's security director Dan Freeman on behalf of the former US president.

Was Donald Trump served with a new lawsuit on Election Day?

Trump was not present at Mar-a-Lago when that subpoena arrived in the defamation case, as the former president was busy campaigning in the Sun Belt that day and hosting a large rally in the Tempe, Arizona, area.

This defamation lawsuit was filed last month and brought by the exonerated group of people like Yusef Salaam, Raymond Santana, Kevin Richardson, Antron Brown and Kore Wise, who claim that Trump misstated some facts and figures in the presidential debate with Kamala Harris in September.

What is the basis of the lawsuit against Trump?

These five were wrongfully convicted in 1989 for a brutal attack on a New York citizen. In the defamation lawsuit, that group said it had been cleared of any wrongdoing and had never pleaded guilty to any crime. Additionally, Trump claimed in his statement that the victims of the Central Park attack were dead, which was also untrue.

Meanwhile, according to Trump spokesman Steven Cheung, this lawsuit was viewed as “another frivolous election interference lawsuit crafted by left-wing activists.”
