A federal judge has rejected efforts by former President Donald Trump to toss out lawsuits filed by lawmakers and two Capitol Police officers that claim his actions led to the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection.
U.S. District Court Judge Amit Mehta says in his ruling that Trump’s words during a rally before the violent storming of the U.S. Capitol were “plausibly words of incitement not protected by the First Amendment.”
According to CNBC, the judge granted requests by Rudy Giuliani and Donald Trump Jr. to dismiss them as defendants in the lawsuits. He reportedly said he would dismiss Rep. Mo Brooks of Alabama from the lawsuit once the request is made.
