Trump lawyer says fiery speech before Capitol riot was part of presidential duties

During the five-hour hearing, US District Judge Amit Mehta in the District of Columbia pressed lawyers for both sides about the limits of this presidential immunity.

The lawsuits charge that the Capitol attack was a direct consequence of Mr Trump's actions, including the speech to thousands of supporters who then stormed the building to try to overturn Joe Biden's election. At one point, the judge questioned whether Mr Trump's remarks in the aftermath of the Capitol siege were intended to encourage rioters.

Donald Trump's lawyer says fiery speech before Capitol riot was part of official presidential duties. Sedition is not what you would expect of an elected official, let alone the President.

Lol OMG they are still delusional 1 year on.

So the Trump lawyer is saying inciting an insurrection was part of Trumps presidential duties Wait did Trump just confess?

Yawn 🥱

ROFL

He cannot be Serious?

Here's an analysis of Trump’s speech. LongRead

It was mostly peaceful

Any reference to what a 'Trump lawyer' says must be treated with skepticism and rejected out of hand as per the bar set by his former lawyer Mr Giuliani

Who cares .. we have our own version of Trump stuffing up our own country

So his duty is to tell people to march there and take democracy back?

BULLSHIT! It was Clearly a call to start an insurgency. Interesting how Craven & Cowardly people like Trump & his Sycophantic Acolytes are when they face Punishment. Lose All Bravado & start with the Lies & Bullshit. What Despicable Cowards! Shivers looking for spines to run up!
