The girlfriend of U.S. Capitol Police officer Brian Sicknick is suing former President Donald Trump as well as two of the Capitol rioters.
Sandra Garza, Sicknick's girlfriend, is requesting that each of the defendants pay $10 million, according to the lawsuit filed on Thursday. Her lawyer says that any recovery that comes as a result of the lawsuit will be donated to charity.
The lawsuit accuses Trump of directly inciting "the violence at the U.S. Capitol that followed and then watched approvingly as the building was overrun."
"After Defendant Trump’s speech ended, insurgents charged the hill surrounding the U.S. Capitol and began scaling the building’s outer walls. Officers reported rioters were attacking them with metal poles. Law enforcement and local leaders put out calls for help. Officers called for reinforcements as the mob pulled down the gates erected to protect the U.S. Capitol and attacked officers," the lawsuit states.
