Moore sued Trump in federal district court, seeking damages of more than $75,000 for the physical and emotional injuries he suffered on January 6, which he said were caused by Trump's wrongful conduct inciting a riot.

The Ku Klux Klan Act prohibits people from conspiring to hurt or prevent U.S. officers, and the lawsuit accuses Trump of violating that law.

Chief critic.
Trump moved to dismiss the January 6 lawsuits because he said his comments about the election were protected by the First Amendment. The President can have the U.S. Marshall Service arrest a judge if they want, but the district court can't penalize the President for his use of his bully pulpit.
What to watch for.
Three of the January 6 lawsuits will be heard in federal district court in Washington, D.C., on Monday morning. The three cases will be considered by the District Judge together.
The key background.
The Capitol building was occupied by hundreds of Trump supporters on January 6 after a rally by Trump and his allies, as Congress was set to certify President Joe Biden's win in the 2020 presidential election. Moore is one of 140 police officers who were injured during the attack. The event resulted in three deaths of police officers, two of whom died by suicide following the riot, the lawsuit notes, and NPR reports that the attack caused more than $1 million in damages to the Capitol building. More than 700 rioters have been charged with crimes related to the attack and more than 50 have been sentenced with punishments ranging from community service to jail time.
