Trump Seeks Delay in January 6 Civil Lawsuits Amid Criminal Charges
TL;DR Summary
Donald Trump's lawyers are seeking to halt at least five civil lawsuits related to the January 6 Capitol riot, arguing that moving the cases forward could force him to reveal his criminal trial strategy. They also want the judge to wait for the Supreme Court's ruling on presidential immunity. The lawsuits and criminal case raise questions about presidential immunity from accountability, and the judge is expected to decide on the cases after all briefings are filed in April. The people suing Trump, including Democratic members of Congress and police officers, are set to respond to his request next week.
