    Trump doesn't have presidential immunity from lawsuits over January 6,
    appeals court rules

    Former President Donald Trump can be sued in civil lawsuits related
    to the January 6, 2021, US Capitol riot in a long-awaited,
    consequential decision from the federal appeals court in Washington,
    DC.

    The decision will have significant implications for several cases
    against Trump in the Washington, DC, federal court related to the 2020 election. The decision arises out of lawsuits brought by Capitol
    Police officers and Democrats in Congress.

    The opinion, written by Chief Judge Sri Srinivasan, states that not
    everything a president does or says while in office is protected from liability.
