WASHINGTON, March 3 — Former US president Donald Trump can be sued by police and others injured in the January 6, 2021 attack by his supporters on the US Capitol, the Justice Department said in a court filing yesterday.
The opinion was submitted at the request of the court, which is hearing a suit by two police officers and 11 lawmakers claiming injury during the January 6 attack. Trump, the Justice Department said, claimed immunity because his pronouncements up to and during the attack amounted to “speech on matters of public concern,” which is within his official duties, even if that speech can be seen as inciting violence.“As the nation’s leader and head of state, the president has ‘an extraordinary power to speak to his fellow citizens and on their behalf,’” the department said.
