Judge Allows Jan. 6 Lawsuits Against Trump to Proceed
TL;DR Summary
A federal judge has denied former President Donald Trump's request to pause three civil cases related to the Jan. 6 Capitol insurrection, allowing the lawsuits brought by Democrats in Congress and Capitol Police officers to advance. The plaintiffs seek to hold Trump liable under the Ku Klux Klan Act, and Trump's claim of presidential immunity has been rejected. In addition to these cases, Trump faces legal battles in New York, including a civil fraud case where he was ordered to pay $454.2 million and two defamation cases. He also faces four criminal indictments, including a hush money case.
