The case went into pause when it got too close to the election and that halted any further discussion beyond the SCOTUS allowing "immunity" BUT remanding back to the lower court to determine what were "official acts" vs "unofficial acts" for the applicability of it.

With respect to suing the government - in general, the government has to "give permission" to do that. It may require Congress to pass some laws for it to happen.
