Class action Lawsuit against Trump.
New Jersey resident Arnett Thomas has filed a federal class-action lawsuit against former President Donald Trump claiming there was an excess in deaths of Americans with his leadership during the COVID-19 pandemic.
unfortunately, I do not think it is possible to serve a civil lawsuit to a former or current president due to actions taken in the course of exercising presidential powers.
Think about every single family member of a wounded, killed, or missing soldier.... would they also have standing to sue the commander in chief for deploying their family member?
I don't think you can compare this lawsuit to soldiers. Soldiers basically sign their lives away when they become soldiers, they are no longer just plain citizens. They have far fewer rights than other citizens.
As far as the lawsuit itself, I think it will be thrown out due the no standing. I guess that would depend on who is included in the "class".
