Donald Trump’s lawyers are trying to pause at least five civil lawsuits that seek to hold him accountable for the January 6, 2021, US Capitol riot because of his pending criminal trial, according to filings with a federal judge in Washington, DC.

Trump’s team is arguing that moving the lawsuits forward at this time could force him to reveal his trial strategy for his criminal case. His team also wants the judge overseeing the lawsuits to wait for the Supreme Court’s ruling on presidential immunity in his criminal case.

Trump’s team said that putting civil cases on the backburner wouldn’t be an unusual approach when a person is simultaneously both a criminal defendant and facing related lawsuits.
