Donald

A federal appeals court has ruled against Donald Trump for a second time this month in a lawsuit filed by police officers over the Jan. 6 insurrection.

The former president had argued that he should be immune from the lawsuit because his conduct should be considered part of his official duties and “constituted speech on matters of public concern.”

The 11th District Court of Appeals cited a previous U.S. Supreme Court ruling that presidential immunity extended “no further than the outer perimeter of a President’s official responsibility.”
