I'm going to continue to persist in seeking justice here.

It's a victory for the January 6th police officers who bravely defended the Capitol on January 6th and want justice for what the president did.

And just as we expected after the mortgage fraud nonsense that more would come against me in retaliation, we also expect more to come and that this is, in fact, motivating Kash Patel and others that I have brought this suit.

It's the only surviving lawsuit against the president in this new presidency.

But justice has been delivered.

What he did on January 6th was deemed by this judge as not an official act.

And Donald Trump is going to have to go to trial.

And he's going to have to face a jury for what he's done.

That's real justice.

It is actually going to trial, using the process in this way, a way that is transparent, where you have judges and you have jurors.

That's what these January 6 officers are going to get.

you know, this, you know, new style of justice where you just go after your opponents, you know, to smear them without going to the courts, without going to jurors.

So we are doing the opposite of what Donald Trump and Kash Patel are seeking to do.

And we've actually taken many depositions already.

And so we are ready to go to trial, to call witnesses.

And he's not allowed to escape trial because he is in office.

That's long settled law.

And so we're seeking to be in court as soon as possible.

I want Californians to know that this is the style you have to bring to a bully like Donald Trump, that if you are not on offense holding him accountable, then the most vulnerable in our state are on defense.

And so I do this in the same manner that I would work as governor and standing up to him on behalf of Californians, is that you have to make him react and be responsible for his corruption.
