Texas Jury Mostly Clears Trump Supporters in Biden Bus Incident

Only one of six defendants found liable for civil rights violation in 2020 highway confrontation with Biden campaign bus.

A Texas jury cleared five out of six Trump supporters accused of harassing a Biden-Harris campaign bus in October 2020.
Eliazar Cisneros was found liable for violating the Klan Act and ordered to pay $40,000 in damages.
The plaintiffs, including former Texas state Sen. Wendy Davis, described the incident as political intimidation and harassment.
Defendants argued they were participating in a peaceful protest and did not intend to intimidate or threaten the bus occupants.
The case tested the application of the Ku Klux Klan Act in modern political contexts, setting a potential precedent for future cases.
