Trump's choice Not to Challenge a Presidential Immunity Ruling, involving Civil Cases attempting to hold Him accountable for His actions on Jan. 6, 2021, has given a green light for the Lawsuits to proceed.
Trump's Decision not to Contest a D.C. Circuit Court of Appeal Ruling, against Him, affects pending Civil Litigation brought by Police Officers and Lawmakers, who were at the U.S. Capitol during the Riots..
The Case only affects Civil Claims, and is separate to another Claim that Trump is Immune from Criminal Prosecution, because His actions were taken while He was President.
But, that Argument was also Rejected earlier this month by the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals, but Trump has signaled that will be Appealed.
So James Blassingame, an Officer injured on Jan. 6, and fellow Plaintiffs, can move forward with Multiple Consolidated Lawsuits against Trump.
The Officers seek Compensatory and Punitive Damages to be determined by a Jury, for the "physical and emotional injuries incurred,".
While Trump tried to argue His Actions leading up to the Jan. 6 Riots were Protected as Oofficial Acts as President, the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals ultimately Ruled Trump was acting as a Political Candidate.
The Court Ruling does allow Trump to "to develop his own facts on the immunity question," but it does Not Protect him from Litigation.
