A city judge Washington ruled that these complaints were admissible, considering that the tycoon’s actions that day were “unofficial acts” that “entirely concern his efforts to remain in office for a second term,” which, according to the magistrate, does not enter into the scope of presidential immunity.
“Denying presidential immunity from civil damages is no small feat,” Justice Amit Mehta wrote in his 112-page recommendation. “The court understands very well the seriousness of his decision,” he added, according to what was reported by the AFP news agency.
The justice also said Trump’s speech to thousands of his supporters gathered in Washington before the assault could “reasonably” be perceived as “a call for collective action.”
“(A) ‘we’ used repeatedly in this context implies that the president (Trump) and those attending the rally would act together towards a common goal. That is the essence of a civil conspiracy,” added the text reproduced by the Politico media.
The role of the former president for the assault that left five dead is also examined by a Select Committee of the House of Representativeswhich has in its possession hundreds of pages with records, text messages and testimonies that Trump tried to hide, according to the head of the investigation.
The Republican billionaire, who was later acquitted in a Senate impeachment trial, criticized the investigation as a “witch hunt.”
