DOJ Moves to Take Over Trump Defense Against Jan. 6 Lawsuits

  • The U.S. Justice Department is attempting to protect Donald Trump from civil lawsuits related to the January 6 Capitol attack, asserting that he was acting as president that day and should not be personally sued.
  • Several police officers have filed lawsuits against Trump for injuries suffered during the January 6 riot, which are currently consolidated in court.
  • The Justice Department's actions could shield Trump from judgment and financial damages if found liable in these civil cases, although civil suits would not result in criminal consequences.
  • Trump's lawyers have argued for immunity in these cases, but a Supreme Court ruling allows sitting presidents to face civil suits, which two courts have rejected.
