The former president dismissed the findings of the House Select Committee investigating the attack on the Capitol while defending his actions prior to the riot.
Trump has previously attempted to use the argument that he has absolute immunity as part of an attempt to dismiss a number of civil lawsuits filed against him in relation to his actions during his presidency.Trump could not cite the presidential immunity defenseThe suit alleged that Trump had violated civil rights by attempting to disenfranchise voters through targeted harassment, intimidation and efforts to prevent the complete counting and certification of ballots after the 2020 election.
While criminal investigations have different legal standards than civil lawsuits, Rachel Fiset, co-founder and managing partner of Zweiback, Fiset & Zalduendo law firm, previously toldthat Sullivan's ruling on Trump's presidential immunity defense could also be used elsewhere. The adviser added:"It's not there. In this business, you can have it and have it so hot and it can go overnight and it's gone and you can't get it back. I think we're just seeing it's gone. The magic is gone."
