Lee v. Trump — Pence-Tweet Immunity Reconsideration and Interlocutory Review

On July 22, 2026, Judge Amit P. Mehta declined to reconsider his earlier civil-immunity treatment of Donald J. Trump’s January 6, 2021 2:24 p.m. tweet concerning Vice President Mike Pence, but certified the controlling immunity question for immediate appellate review. The ruling is procedural and does not resolve the consolidated civil cases on the merits.
