He was found liable in that case for $83.3 million.
There had been multiple cases in multiple states to remove Trump from the ballot, citing ineligibility under the 14th amendment.

To be honest, I don’t think it’s about quantity, but more about quality.
I’d rather Trump have one, one single charge of insurrection that leads him to life in prison (or 20 years or whatever, which would pretty much be life for him), than 50 that lead to nothing.
Thanks a lot, this clarified this news article instantly for me!
