On Wednesday, a federal judge said there was no reason to delay a civil petition brought against former President Donald Trump, accusing him of playing a part in causing the death of a Capitol Police officer.

In August, President Trump argued that similar issues have been brought in a federal criminal case against him that will go to trial in March, and the civil trial should be put off until the criminal case has been resolved.
