4:00 in new york. today, monumental breakthrough in the sometimes frustrating pursuit and pace of accountability and justice. the aftermath of the deadly attack on the u.s. capitol. in the 785 days since the insurrection he incited, donald trump has managed to squirm his way through an impeachment, wiggle past the bipartisan congressional investigation, stretching presidential immunity to great effect so far. now the justice department says in a brand-new court filing, such immunity should not shield donald trump from multiple civil suits brought by police officers and members of congress. in that new filing, in the course of urging an appeals court to reject trump s immunity claim, the justice department was very careful to avoid taking a position on whether trump is actually liable for causing the riot. the new action does open new doors of potential accountability for him. doj s essentially telling the court it does not believe trump can use immunity to avoid civil litigat
