US President Donald Trump is not immune from civil claims that he incited a mob of his supporters to attack the Capitol on 6 January 2021, a federal judge has ruled in one of the last unresolved legal cases stemming from the riot.
District Judge Amit Mehta ruled on Tuesday that Trump's remarks at his "Stop the Steal" rally, held on the Ellipse near the White House shortly before the siege began, "plausibly" were inciting words that are not protected by the First Amendment right to free speech.
