"Trump's Jan. 6 Immunity Case: The Supreme Court Decision"

TL;DR Summary
Donald Trump has decided not to appeal to the Supreme Court regarding his claim of broad immunity in civil lawsuits related to the Jan. 6 Capitol attack. The lawsuits, brought by Capitol Police officers and members of Congress, can now move forward. Trump's legal team argues that his actions on Jan. 6 fall under his presidential responsibilities, granting him immunity from civil liability. The court has ruled that Trump can still claim immunity later in the proceedings and develop his own facts on the immunity question. This decision is separate from the criminal case against Trump arising from the same event.
