Republicans voted against the Supreme Court case: – The case was dead when it reached us
Trump is being sued for inciting the assault on the Congress building in Washington DC on January 6. These are the charges against him:
- Trump’s repeated false claims that he won the presidential election.
- Trump’s speech on January 6, before his supporters stormed Congress.
- Trump’s phone call to the Georgia state election official to find enough votes to turn the tide in Trump’s favor.
The first time was a little over a year ago. He was later acquitted, as only one Republican in the Senate voted to convict him. A ruling requires a 2/3 majority in the Senate. That means 17 Republican senators must vote with Democrats to try Trump.
