Donald Trump can be held civilly liable for the actions of the mob that attacked the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, an appeals court ruled Friday in a long-awaited decision that could clear the way for lawsuits seeking financial damages from the former president.

The unanimous decision by a federal appeals court in Washington is expected to be appealed and also offers insight into how the court could view Trump’s argument that presidential immunity also protects him from being charged criminally for his efforts to stay in power after the 2020 election.
Two U.S. Capitol police officers and about a dozen Democratic lawmakers sued Trump in 2021, saying he potentially instigated violence on Jan. 6 by telling supporters the election was stolen and urging them to march to the Capitol and “fight like hell.” The plaintiffs sued under a roughly 150-year-old law that bars the use of force, threats or intimidation to prevent government officials from carrying out their duties and allows anyone injured by such actions to collect damages. They argued Trump violated the statute — designed to combat Ku Klux Klan violence after the Civil War — by conspiring with members of far-right groups to keep lawmakers from confirming Joe Biden’s election win.
Of course, the only way Democrats can beat Trump is keep the lawsuits coming. You should be ashamed supporting a Party that is destroying all faith and trust in the US Justice System.Federal Court has held that Trump can be personally sued for damages related to the J6 events. While there are already about 14 cases, this will likely expand greatly as other police and politicians there sue as well.
The rubes were there, and they did what they did, because of him. Because of his goddamn lies.Federal Court has held that Trump can be personally sued for damages related to the J6 events.

In a Banana Republic political opponents are punished for opposing the ruling regime.
How is this legal? Can politicians who encouraged unrest during the Floyd riots also be held accountable? Americans do realize that Europe is going further right and it is a perceived bias, silencing and persecution of the rights opinion that is driving people to come out and vote. Newsflash, neither Cheney nor Romney would win in 2024.Federal Court has held that Trump can be personally sued for damages related to the J6 events.

So you're the one! Well, she would probably receive two votes as I assume she might vote for herself also...I would vote for Liz Cheney.
You are probably a foreign troll who views America through the Democrat lens provided by CNN. You obviously have no clue what you are talking about.That was the goal of Trump and Brietbart... to destroy confidence in all US institutions.

Fine. Now the Somali skank should step down.Republicans did the right thing
About half voted to expel Santos. Almost every Democrat voted against him
You are lying once again Moon Bat. This once great country is now nothing more than a two bit Banana Republic where a person will be thrown in jail for protesting against a blatant stolen election.We won't have a Banana Republic if you keep Trump out of the White House.
