With the floodgates on civil lawsuits from police seeking to hold Donald Trump liable for Jan. 6 flung open — and with arguments over his immunity pending before the U.S. Supreme Court — the former president has asked a federal judge in Washington, D.C., to stay civil litigation brought against him invoking the riot at the U.S. Capitol, arguing that “overlap” in civil discovery would violate his rights to a fair criminal trial.

As Law&Crime previously reported, this move was signaled in a joint status report filed earlier in March.

The motion comes as Trump nonetheless claims he is totally immune from prosecution anyway and as more than 1,000 people have faced prosecution for crimes connected to the attack at the Capitol, with more than 200 defendants blaming him directly for inciting them.
