Today we're going to talk about the new raft of legal issues that Trump is now having to contend with,

and I interview Senator Tammy Baldwin about Trump's promises to again overturn the ACA, which she helped write,

and an interesting tidbit about her likely Republican opponent in 2024.

I'm Brian Tyler Cohen and you're listening to no lie.

So we've got a new major legal hurdle for Donald Trump

at a time where he's trying to figure

out ways to avoid his ongoing lawsuits, a judge has now ruled that he can be

sued in civil lawsuits related to the insurrection on January 6th, which means

three existing January 6th, which means three existing January 6

lawsuits are now allowed to proceed, including those brought by

capital police officers and two members of Congress.

It also means that other lawsuits may be able to proceed as well, meaning that far from figuring

out ways to wind down his court appearances by seeking to get his criminal cases thrown out,

he may very well find himself contending with half a dozen civil lawsuits over his

incitement of the insurrection on January 6th. The decision was handed down by an

appeals court that said that Donald Trump does not have presidential immunity

which has been Trump's ongoing excuse that he's protected from litigation

because everything he did as president was protected as an official duty.

The court didn't agree with the opinion laying out that not everything a president

does in office is protected from liability.

Quote, the president does not spend every minute of every day exercising official responsibilities,

and when he acts outside the functions of his office, he does not continue to enjoy immunity.
