The Justice Department lawyers note that they are not taking a position with respect to potential criminal liability for Trump or anyone else

Former President Donald Trump can be sued by injured Capitol Police officers and Democratic lawmakers over the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection at the U.S. Capitol, the Justice Department said Thursday in a federal court case testing Trump’s legal vulnerability and the limits of executive power.

The Justice Department lawyers also wrote that they take no view on a lower court judge’s conclusion that those who sued Trump have “plausibly” alleged that his speech caused the riot. Nevertheless, the department wrote that an appeals court should reject Trump’s claim of absolutely immunity. Besides investigating Trump, special counsel, Jack Smith, has subpoenaed former Vice President Mike Pence about his actions and what he might have witnessed in relation to the Capitol riot. Pence says he will fight the subpoena.

The suits cite a federal civil rights law that was enacted to counter the Ku Klux Klan’s intimidation of officials. They describe in detail how Trump and others spread baseless claims of election fraud, both before and after the 2020 presidential election was declared, and charge that they helped to rile up the thousands of rioters before they stormed the Capitol.
