On Monday, Washington, D.C. District Judge Emmet Sullivan sided with the NAACP, the Michigan Welfare Rights Organization, and others and ruled against 45th President Donald J. Trump’s “absolute immunity” claims regarding a challenge to the 2020 presidential election results. Sullivan claimed Trump’s conduct after the 2020 election was “purely political and therefore well beyond the contours of presidential immunity.” The organizations that filed the suit argued that Trump and the Republican National Committee (RNC) conspired to disenfranchise voters.

CNBC reports:

“If … President Trump disrupted the certification of the electoral vote count, as plaintiffs allege here, such actions would not constitute executive action in defense of the Constitution,” Sullivan wrote. “For these reasons, the court concludes that … President Trump is not immune from monetary damages in this suit.”

NBC News has reached out to attorneys for Trump and the Republican National Committee for comment.

Sullivan allowed the plaintiffs to file an amended complaint, and issued a strong condemnation of Trump for posing “a very substantial risk in the future to plaintiffs’ fundamental right to vote.”

“The court concludes that plaintiffs’ allegations support severe, substantial harm from former President Trump’s ongoing and continued efforts to intimidate officials, spread false claims of fraud, and imperil the right to vote,” Sullivan wrote.

Sullivan added, “The court is also cognizant that the individual plaintiffs are Black voters who are particularly targeted by … President Trump’s baseless allegations of election fraud.”

  1. LISTEN UP….KARI LAKE is Proving there is something Fishy going on in American Elections. Besides Immigration Reform AMERICA needs ELECTION Reform . There has got to be a BETER WAY in Both Areas. From SamuraiQueen aka CHIAKIA. 😄😄😄😇😇😇😉😉😉

  2. Half of America knows there was election fraud and large
    part of the other half knows there was also because many
    of them were involved in the fraud. A judges statement
    does not change the truth.

  3. I’m so sick of whiney azz knee grows always butt hurt over nothing just to get something for nothing. These are the people stuffing ballot boxes and hauling in boxes upon boxes of fake ballots in the middle of the night. The same people who covered the windows with pizza boxes and would not let republicans in to watch the counting. Two years later and nothing changed this time around. That’s how Michigan wound up with the three witches again. Governor, AG, SoS, along with taking the house and senate after 40 years. Once again too much funny business in Michigans government.

    1. CONGRESS CAN STOP THIS FRAUDULENT VOTING CRAP IF THEY WANTED TOO, WE PAY THEM TO PROTECT US, BUT INSTEAD THEY LET THIS HAPPEN, WE THE PEOLE HAVE LOST OUR VOICES IN THE CONGRESS! PERIOD!

  4. What’s the point of commenting. Didn’t like what I wrote so you canceled it. Must not like other comments also because it always says be the first to comment. Bet you rejected the other comments too.

  5. These last words of the “judge” mentioned here claiming that “Black voters ..are particularly targeted by … President Trump’s baseless allegations of election fraud” are a political claim to which this “judge” has NO EVIDENCE, but it proves PREJUDICE and INVALIDITY of this “judgement!

  6.
