A group of current and former lawmakers and police suing Donald Trump for his alleged role fomenting the violence of Jan. 6 have agreed to give the former president — currently on trial in New York and preparing to make his last big push to advance his “absolute” immunity argument at the Supreme Court this week — a bit of grace. But on one condition.

As Law&Crime previously reported, the long-delayed civil litigation against Trump received a boost last week when U.S. District Judge Amit Mehta in Washington, D.C., rejected the former president’s attempts to halt discovery in the civil matter until his separate criminal prosecution brought by special counsel Jack Smith was complete.
