Former President Donald Trump can be held liable for the Jan. 6, 2021 Capitol riot as part of a civil suit filed by police officers and members of Congress, government lawyers said Thursday.
Lawyers for the Justice Department say in a court filing that former President Donald Trump, shown before his Jan. 6, 2021, speech in Washington, D.C., can be sued over the Capitol riot.The plaintiffs seek to hold the former president responsible for physical and psychological damage they suffered in the melee caused by a crowd of pro-Trump rioters who stormed the US Capitol to disrupt the certification of the 2020 presidential election.
“His briefs advance only a single, categorical argument: A President is always immune from any civil suits based on his ‘speech on matters of public concern,’ — even if that speech also constitutes incitement to imminent private violence. The United States respectfully submits that the Court should reject that categorical argument,” the lawyers wrote.
