On a significant day in American courts, a U.S. appeals tribunal determined that former President Donald Trump has to confront civil legal actions in connection with his deemed involvement in the assault on the Capitol on January 6, 2021, perpetrated by his admirers.

Dismissing Trump's assertion of immunity, the judgement has brought a new dimension to the case. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit was the stage where the panel ruled that Trump was functioning 'in his personal capacity as a presidential candidate' when he motivated his supporters to proceed towards the Capitol on the day when the disturbance broke out.

Existence of immunity from civil legal actions applies solely to U.S. presidents when they act in their official capacity. This is a legally established criterion. The implications of this judgement become significant as it paves the way for the former president to come under legal action pursued by U.S. Capitol law enforcement officers and Democratic legislators.

The ultimate objective behind these lawsuits is an effort to blame Trump for the aggressive acts carried out by his backers during the infamous riot, which served to challenge his electoral defeat in 2020.

This particular legal trouble is just one among many hurdles faced by Trump, who is believed to be the leading contender for the Republican nomination to challenge the current Democratic President Joe Biden in the forthcoming 2024 presidential election. These legal challenges are a mix of civil and criminal in nature. The unanimous ruling from the court solely centered on Trump's liability to get sued. It refrained from commenting on the true substance or worthiness of the cases themselves.
