Supreme Court rejects Turkey’s bid to stop US brawl lawsuits

FILE- In this file frame grab from video provided by Voice of America, members of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's security detail are shown violently reacting to peaceful protesters during Erdogan's trip last month to Washington. The Supreme Court has rejected Turkey’s bid to shut down lawsuits in U.S. courts stemming from a brawl outside the Turkish ambassador’s residence in Washington that left anti-government protesters badly beaten. The justices did not comment Monday in turning away Turkey’s arguments that American law shields foreign countries from most lawsuits. (Voice of America via AP, File)
