The Jan6 public hearings will benefit all the civil lawsuits that will be filed against Trump if he does not end up in criminal court.
"The Defendants assembled, inflamed and incited the mob, and as such are wholly responsible for the injury and destruction that followed," Swalwell said in a statement about the lawsuit
“Judge Mehta’s ruling is a complete vindication of my claims against Donald Trump for inciting an attack against the Capitol,” Swalwell said in a statement. “Trump led a conspiracy to violently interfere with the Jan. 6 Joint Session of Congress. With this ruling, I will move forward to depose Donald Trump and seek all relevant evidence surrounding Jan. 6.”

In his ruling, Mehta said Swalwell and the plaintiffs in two similar lawsuits — U.S. Rep. Bennie Thompson, D-Mississippi, chairman of the Jan. 6 Commission; and Capitol Police Officers James Blassingame and Sidney Hemby — could potentially “establish a plausible conspiracy involving President Trump.”
“That civil conspiracy included the Proud Boys, the Oath Keepers, Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio, and others who entered the Capitol on Jan. 6 with the intent to disrupt the Certification of the Electoral College vote through force, intimidation, or threats,” the judge wrote
