Episode 46:Trump is not immune from lawsuits or criminal charges for Jan 6th

Two different courts ruled against #donaldtrump on December 1, 2023. In Blassingame v. Trump, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia decided that Trump does not have immunity from civil suits related to his actions surrounding January 6th. They ruled that there is a difference between the actions of a President, which would allow immunity, from the actions as a presidential candidate. Therefore, the civil case against #donaldtrump by police officers and members of Congress can go forward against him.

In the criminal case of United States v. Trump in D.C., U.S. District Court Judge Tanya Chutkan ruled that Trump does not have immunity from criminal charges either for his actions surrounding the presidential election and contest. Therefore, the criminal case against #donaldtrump by federal prosecutor Jack Smith for conspiracy and obstruction can also move forward against Trump.
