Donald Trump faces $30,000 lawsuit from convicted felon over alleged racist comments

Donald Trump is facing a $30,000 lawsuit from Anthony Sharp, a convicted pedophile serving a long prison sentence. Sharp claims he suffered emotional damage from Trump's comments about immigrants "stealing black jobs" during a speech in August 2024. Sharp, who is black, argues that Trump's remarks were racist and harmful to his family. The lawsuit was filed in Palm Beach County, Florida, and served to a Trump employee on December 2, 2024. This lawsuit comes as Trump prepares for his inauguration, following a recent legal victory where he received an unconditional discharge on felony charges related to business record falsifications. His legal team has not yet responded to the lawsuit.
