Donald Trump and GOP Secure Partial Dismissal of Lawsuit Accusing Them of Plotting to Disenfranchise Black Voters During 2020 Election – By Adam Klasfeld (Law and Crime) / April 1, 2022
Donald Trump and the Republican party do not have to face allegations that they violated the Voting Rights Act in the 2020 presidential election, a federal judge ruled on Friday.
The judge withheld ruling on whether Trump and the GOP must face claims that they violated the Ku Klux Klan Act, which for now survives intact. Trump and the RNC lost a separate motion to transfer the remaining litigation away from the Democratic stronghold jurisdiction of Washington, D.C.
Senior U.S. District Judge Emmet Sullivan scoffed at Trump’s notion that a federal court in Washington, D.C. lacks jurisdiction to preside over the former president’s claims.
