"Trump's Civil Immunity Claim Over Jan. 6 Lawsuits Allowed to Proceed"

Civil lawsuits against Donald Trump for his alleged role in the January 6 US Capitol attack can proceed as he declined to seek Supreme Court review on whether he is shielded by presidential immunity. The lawsuits, brought by Democratic lawmakers and US Capitol Police officers, will now move to a fact-finding phase at the trial-level federal court in Washington, DC. Trump can still claim presidential immunity, but it will be up to the judge to determine whether the conduct at issue was done in his official capacity as president. The Supreme Court is still considering whether to step into Trump's federal criminal case related to January 6.
