"Trump Requests Delay in Jan. 6 Lawsuits Amid Ongoing Criminal Case"

Donald Trump's attorneys have requested a pause in civil cases seeking to hold him accountable for damages related to the Jan. 6 riot, citing the pending criminal case against him. They argue that Trump should not have to waive his constitutional rights or reveal his defense strategies prematurely. If granted, this stay would delay Trump's participation in the civil cases until the special counsel's prosecution is resolved. If Trump is elected president, he would likely be immune from these civil lawsuits.
