DOJ Moves to Take Over Trump Defense Against Jan. 6 Lawsuits

  • The U.S. Justice Department has moved to shield Donald Trump from civil lawsuits over the January 6, 2021 attack on the Capitol, arguing he was acting within his official role as president.
  • Lawyers for the Justice Department requested that the U.S. Government replace Trump as a defendant, stating their argument is based on a federal law related to government employee roles.
  • Trump has denied the allegations and requested immunity, asserting his actions were part of his official duties as president, contradicting a previous position by the Justice Department.
  • Eight lawsuits against Trump have emerged, with plaintiffs alleging he incited violence against police during the Capitol riots, and these cases are being handled by Judge Amit Mehta in D.C.
