"Trump's Last-Ditch Effort: Supreme Court Decision Looms Over Jan. 6 Lawsuits"

Donald Trump has chosen not to appeal a federal appeals court ruling that rejected his claim of absolute immunity from lawsuits related to his actions as president, allowing at least three lawsuits stemming from the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol to advance. The lawsuits, brought by members of Congress and police officers, will now enter a phase of limited evidence-gathering related to Trump’s activities on Jan. 6 to determine if they were official or political in nature. Despite this, Trump's allies indicate that he may revive a challenge to the ruling later in the process. The Supreme Court is already dealing with several cases related to Trump's actions and their impact on his political viability.
