Donald Trump's choice not to challenge a presidential immunity ruling involving civil cases attempting to hold him accountable for his actions on Jan. 6, 2021, has given a green light for the lawsuits to proceed, a new analysis contends.
Trump's decision not to contest a D.C. Circuit Court of Appeal ruling against him from December affects pending civil litigation brought by police officers and lawmakers who were at the U.S. Capitol during the riots, Supreme Court reporter Lawrence Hurley writes for NBC News. The deadline to appeal passed Thursday.

If true...was it bad lawyering or a decision by Trump and his lawyers?

From now on, he'll have to concentrate on the legal problems that will lead to prison.

If he looses any of these cases based on "immunity", could he then still appeal the immunity issue?
