"Judge Partially Dismisses Lawsuit Against Trump Related to Capitol Officer's Death on Jan. 6"
TL;DR
Donald Trump is fighting on multiple legal fronts, appealing a Maine decision to block him from the 2024 ballots due to his involvement in the Capitol riot and arguing for presidential immunity in a DC appeals court against federal election subversion charges. His lawyers claim his actions are protected as "official acts," while Special Counsel Jack Smith warns against granting such broad immunity. Meanwhile, a civil lawsuit against Trump by a Capitol Police officer's partner can partially proceed, and Trump's rhetoric continues to be a point of analysis and concern as the 2024 election approaches.
