Contributing sentiments towards policy:
58% : Buchanan's claims were ultimately thrown out due to restrictive laws protecting federal officials from civil lawsuits and they appealed.54% : "Trump's co-defendant Harrison Floyd, the onetime leader of Black Voices for Trump, scored a win this week when Fulton County Superior Judge Scott McAfee granted a certificate for immediate review on his claim that Fani Willis overstepped her authority by seeking an "election-related" indictment.
52% : Trump famously walked through the park moments afterwards to visit a church and take a photo with a Bible.
51% : Trump responded by lashing out at the judge and the judge's daughter on his social media platform, Truth Social.
47% : It's déjà vu all over again in sunny Palm Beach where Trump told U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon he needs to push back his Espionage Act trial indefinitely even as his lawyers argued earlier in the week that he shouldn't face trial at all because of his right to "presidential immunity" and because, he contends, special counsel Jack Smith was unlawfully appointed.
46% : Though the merits of the plaintiff's amended claims have yet to be decided, a judge has granted the parties the right to serve Trump.
39% : That will go toward the negotiation of deadlines for motions with Trump's lawyers and it will determine whether Trump stays on the case.
37% : Clark could be disbarred over his efforts to help Trump overturn the results of the 2020 election: One state bar court judge found that the Office of Chief Trial Counsel proved that John Eastman violated 10 of 11 attorney misconduct counts tied to his speech at the Ellipse on Jan. 6 and more.
33% : Just about everywhere he has been indicted, Trump has clung to his blanket presidential immunity claim to stave off proceedings.
33% : Lawmakers and police suing Donald Trump in civil court for his role in Jan. 6 told a judge this week that enough is enough and that the former president should not be able to dodge their lawsuits as he awaits a ruling from the U.S. Supreme Court on whether he is immune from prosecution.
29% : Buchanan as well as another group of plaintiffs represented by the American Civil Liberties Union in a separate lawsuit, Black Lives Matter DC v. Trump, ended up settling with government after pitched litigation.
28% : Trump has begged to pause the lawsuits, claiming if he was forced to face them, it could jeopardize his defense strategy at his yet unscheduled criminal trial for allegedly conspiring to overturn the results of the 2020 election, defraud the American people, obstruct proceedings and intimidate voters.
25% : Through his attorneys, Trump recently told civil litigant police and U.S. lawmakers suing him over the violence of Jan. 6 that if he was forced to face them in court, it would unfairly expose his defense strategy when he faces off agains special counsel Jack Smith in his impending election subversion trial.
24% : The declaration was the latest example of Trump using one criminal case of his against another: his lawyers say the proposed trial dates in Florida for May and June won't work now that the schedule has changed in his hush-money election interference case in New York.
19% : Trump, the attorney wrote, should not be able to "treat the court like a campaign event.
14% : The lawsuit in question is Buchanan v. Trump, a case that started in 2020 after protesters sued Trump in his official capacity and a number of other officials for unconstitutionally clearing them away from Lafayette Square Park that June by using chemical irritants including tear gas in as they peacefully protested the police killing of George Floyd.
13% : Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Juan Merchan slapped Trump with a gag order this week, saying he was utterly unpersuaded that Trump would refrain from attacking witnesses, prosecutors and jurors.
