Clause 7

Impeachment Judgments

Judgment in Cases of Impeachment shall not extend further than to removal from Office, and disqualification to hold and enjoy any Office of honor, Trust or Profit under the United States: but the Party convicted shall nevertheless be liable and subject to Indictment, Trial, Judgment and Punishment, according to Law.

President Trump was NOT convicted of insurrection for the Jan 6 events, because he was acquitted by the senate, which means this clause does not apply, and as Trump's lawyers indicate, he cannot be further charged as it would be double jeopardy. Thanks to the crazy democrats that tried to impeach hem, Trump is IMHO immune to any Jan/6 charges or prosecution.

So it is your argument that had Trump been found guilty in his impeachment trial, then he could also have been tried in criminal court, but since he were found not guilty by the Senate, that he is immune from any civil penalty?

See my post 58.
