A Capitol Police officer has filed a lawsuit on the anniversary of the Jan. 6 riot accusing former President Trump of contributing to injuries she sustained when a mob of his supporters attacked the U.S. Capitol
Officer Briana Kirkland filed the 57-page lawsuit in U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C. She argued that Trump incited the attack, did little to end it and conspired with far-right extremists to promote false claims about the 2020 election.
“Trump, by his words and conduct, directed the mob that stormed the Capitol and assaulted and battered Briana Kirkland,” it says.Kirkland is seeking at least $75,000 in damages, as well as attorneys’ fees.
