The floodgates exposing Donald Trump to civil lawsuits seeking to hold him accountable for the violent and destructive events at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 are now open, according to an order from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia.

On Friday, the appeals court gave the green light to three civil complaints against Trump tied to Jan. 6. As Law&Crime previously reported, Trump missed his deadline at the Supreme Court to fight the civil lawsuits in February.
