"Trump's Attempt to Stop Jan. 6 Civil Cases Fails"

Former President Donald Trump's request to halt lawsuits accusing him of inciting the U.S. Capitol attack was denied by a federal judge, as he fights criminal charges related to the 2020 election. The civil cases seek to hold Trump responsible for the Jan. 6 riot, while he faces a separate criminal trial in New York. Trump's claims of absolute presidential immunity were rejected by the appeals court, and his lawyers argued for a pause in the civil cases, citing fairness to criminal defendants. However, the judge ruled against the pause, stating that appropriate safeguards can be put in place to allow the lawsuits to proceed without infringing on Trump's Fifth Amendment rights.
