2020 ELECTION/LAWSUIT/POLICE: “A federal judge on Tuesday [August 2, 2022] denied former President Donald Trump’s bid to dismiss three lawsuits brought by police officers injured in the Jan. 6 riot, rejecting his assertion that he is ‘absolutely immune’ from the claims.

The lawsuits, brought on behalf of four U.S. Capitol Police officers, seek to hold Trump liable for emotional and physical injuries they sustained when a pro-Trump mob stormed the Capitol and disrupted the [2020 election] electoral vote count.”
