• Lawyers for Donald Trump will make the case on Wednesday that the former president should be immune from liability with regard to three civil lawsuits in connection to the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.
• In February, a federal judge in Washington, D.C., ruled that the lawsuits may proceed and denied a claim by Trump that his prior actions were protected by certain privileges of being president.
• Trump’s attorneys are now appealing the judge’s ruling, arguing that the former president’s remarks at the Ellipse before the riot were safeguarded by “ironclad presidential immunity as it relates to speech-making.”
