A federal judge on Thursday denied former President Donald Trump’s motion to stay proceedings of all civil lawsuits linked to the Jan. 6, 2021, breach of the Capitol, while his 2020 election interference criminal case is ongoing.
The lawsuits were brought by Democratic lawmakers and police officers who seek civil damages for harm they say they suffered during the Jan. 6 Capitol breach, which aimed to stop Congress’ certification of President Joe Biden’s victory.
