Former President Donald Trump, former Attorney General Bill Barr and other members of the Trump administration cannot be sued over the forcible clearing of Black Lives Matter protesters from Washington DC’s Lafayette Square last year, a federal judge ruled Monday.
In a 51-page decision, US District Judge Dabney Friedrich tossed many of the claims in four overlapping lawsuits, which alleged that government officials used unnecessary force by ordering US Park Police to deploy rubber bullets, flash bang grenades and tear gas to disperse demonstrators on the evening of June 1, 2020.
