Dan Scavino has proudly served as President Donald Trump’s social media guru for nearly a decade, now occupying the role of deputy chief of staff. But in court, he’s arguing his relationship with the president could be disastrous to his reputation.
That legal argument popped up in one of the few major court cases against Trump that have continued since he assumed the presidency and still threaten his bank account — one in which cops and legislators are trying to hold him personally accountable for the damage his followers caused when they stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.
Trump is currently trying to use the shield of presidential immunity to snuff out these eight consolidated lawsuits. Opposing lawyers countered in February with a 55-page court filing that was supported by 186 exhibits.
