Former President Trump Faces ‘Legal Reckoning’ As Jan 6 Hearings Aid Other Active Lawsuits Filed Against Him
Donald Trump could face a “legal reckoning” if evidence highlighted during the January 6 proceedings are used against him in a number of other lawsuits, according to Democratic Rep. Eric Swalwell.
Swalwell, who is suing the former president for allegedly inciting the insurrection while citing a civil rights law enacted to counter the Ku Klux Klan’s intimidation of officials, described how others who have filed suits against Trump may be closely watching the House Committee’s proceedings.
The California congressman said that after just two days of public hearings, Trump looks “guiltier after all of his evidence, not more innocent” and his case and others may be further strengthened.
