An attorney for a group of protesters who filed suit alleging that in 2015 security guards for then-candidate Donald Trump assaulted them outside of Trump Tower say they’ve settled their case with Trump as the case was in the middle of jury selection.
Benjamin Dictor, an attorney for the plaintiffs says, “the matter was resolved to the satisfaction of all parties on day three of jury selection.”
Dictor would not comment on the terms of the settlement or if the former president admitted any wrongdoing.
In a joint statement provided by Dictor and signed by the plaintiffs and Trump’s attorney Alina Habba – signing on behalf of Trump – the parties agree that they have settled the case, will dismiss the case, and “the parties all agree that the plaintiffs in the action, and all people, have a right to engage in peaceful protest on public sidewalks.”
The suit stems from an incident in September 2015, when, according to allegations by a group protesting then-candidate Trump's comments about Mexican immigrants, Trump's security guards assaulted them on the sidewalk outside Trump's Fifth Avenue building. The suit charges that Trump's head of security punched one of the protesters in the head while trying to wrest away his "Make America racist again" sign.
The protesters sued Trump, his company, his campaign and the guards in the incident, which they said disrupted their "peaceful and lawful assembly."

The protesters were each given an ounce of weed to go away.
Cheaper to payout than go through a lot of bs!
Oh, so you took that comment as a microagression?
He should include a MAGA hat and T-Shirt with every check.
That is a great idea. And an autographed card that says, “Thanks for playing, Jose!”
“peaceful and lawful assembly.”
Like those conservative protesters who pray at abortion centers and then get their heads bashed in by the Merrick Garland unjustice department? Where is their payout?
Lighten up Francis
Like the h0m0s who Sue cake decorators.
Wait. How do you know my name?
