Donald Trump can be sued by police officers injured in the January 6 riot, the Department of Justice has said.
The department was weighing in on a lawsuit that seeks to hold the former president liable for the actions of the mob that stormed the US Capitol two years ago.
Two officers with the US Capitol Police and 11 Democratic members of Congress have launched a civil lawsuit which seeks to hold him accountable. He has appealed to dismiss the suit, claiming that as president at the time, he held absolute immunity.
