Federal Jury Clears Most 2020 ‘Trump Train’ Drivers in Bogus Voter Intimidation Case
A federal jury in Texas has cleared most of the ‘Trump Train’ drivers who surrounded the Biden-Harris campaign bus on a highway in the run-up to the 2020 presidential election.
Five of the six defendants were cleared of all charges following a two-week trial in Austin. One man, however, was ordered to pay the other bus driver $10,000 and a further $30,000 in punitive damages.
The lawsuit, filed in 2021 by former Texas state Sen. Wendy Davis (D) and five others who were either aboard the Biden campaign bus or driving nearby during the incident, concerned an event where their bus was traveling from San Antonio to Austin on the final day of early voting in Texas.
