New York, NY (March 30, 2023) – Rev. Al Sharpton, Founder and President of the National Action Network (NAN), issued the following statement on news reports that former President Donald Trump will be indicted in Manhattan over his alleged role in a hush money payment to Stormy Daniels.

“It’s not lost on those of us who were there in 1989 that Donald Trump will likely walk into the same courthouse where the Exonerated 5 were falsely convicted for a crime they did not commit. Let’s not forget that it was Donald Trump who took out full-page ads calling for these five Black and Brown young men to get the death penalty. This is the same man who’s now calling for violence when he has to go through the criminal justice system. The same man will have to stand up in a courtroom and see firsthand what the criminal justice system is like. All I can say is, what goes around comes around.”
