Four years after the insurrection at the US Capitol, lawsuits stemming from the events of January 6, 2021, are still making their way through the legal system. Recently, a federal judge presided over a procedural hearing involving eight cases where Democratic members of Congress and US Capitol Police officers are seeking accountability from former President Donald Trump for the violent mob that disrupted the electoral certification of the 2020 election.
During the hearing, both sides participated via phone to discuss the collection of evidence from Trump's side. Trump himself did not partake in the proceedings. His legal team is attempting to limit the lawsuits by invoking claims of presidential immunity.
