WASHINGTON, Dec 1 — A US appeals court today ruled that Donald Trump must face civil lawsuits over his role in the January 6, 2021 attack on the Capitol by his supporters, rejecting the former president’s claim that he is immune.
The panel of the US Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit found that Trump was acting “in his personal capacity as a presidential candidate” when he urged his supporters to march to the Capitol. US presidents are immune from civil lawsuits only for official actions.
The ruling clears the way for Trump to face lawsuits from police officers and US lawmakers seeking to hold Trump responsible for the violence by his supporters during the riot, which was an attempt to overturn his 2020 election defeat.
