Trial Over 'Trump Train' Incident on Biden-Harris Bus Continues in Austin

Defendants argue First Amendment rights as plaintiffs claim intimidation and political violence under the Ku Klux Klan Act.

The civil trial focuses on a 2020 incident where a convoy of Trump supporters allegedly surrounded a Biden-Harris campaign bus on Interstate 35.
Plaintiffs, including former Texas state Sen. Wendy Davis, argue that the convoy's actions amounted to political intimidation and forced the cancellation of a campaign event.
Defendants claim their actions were a form of protected speech and deny any intent to intimidate or endanger those on the bus.
Evidence presented includes social media posts and messages, with plaintiffs highlighting posts that suggest an intent to block the bus.
The lawsuit seeks punitive and compensatory damages, citing violations of the Ku Klux Klan Act, which aims to prevent political violence and intimidation.
