Judge: Trump not immune from civil claims from January 6 speech

Source: The Hill

“A federal judge is allowing a civil suit brought against President Trump for his actions on Jan. 6, 2021 to proceed in court, a victory for Democratic lawmakers and Capitol Police officers who brought the litigation. The late Tuesday ruling from U.S. District Court Judge Amit Mehta found that Trump’s speech on the Ellipse that day was not covered by the Supreme Court’s immunity ruling, determining it could not be considered a core presidential act. He also determined the phone call Trump made to Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger (R) asking him to ‘find’ more votes was clearly an effort ‘to alter the outcome of Georgia’s election.'” (04/01/26)
