Judge Won’t Let Trump Off the Hook

A federal judge just ruled that Trump can’t escape a civil case related to the January 6, 2021, chaos at the US Capitol. It’s a big win for a group of lawmakers who claim they were terrorized by Trump and his supporters.

What’s Next for Trump

The ruling means Trump will have to face the music and defend himself against allegations that he incited the riot. It’s not looking good for him – the court won’t dismiss the case, and he won’t get to hide behind immunity claims.
The lawmakers who sued Trump say they were subjected to physical and emotional harm during the riot. They’re seeking damages, and it’s likely this case will get ugly.
Trump’s lawyers will try to argue that he didn’t directly incite the violence, but it’s a tough sell. The judge’s ruling makes it clear that Trump’s words and actions are fair game in this case.
