The fiancee of a Capitol Police officer is suing Donald Trump, accusing the former president of his wrongful death and other damages.
Sandra Garza, representing the estate of Officer Brian Sicknick, is reportedly seeking $10 million from the 2024 Republican presidential-primary hopeful, saying he was at fault in the Jan. 6 riots.
The lawsuit charges that Sicknick’s death was the result of Mr. Trump’s rhetoric and claims that the 2020 presidential election was stolen from him.
Two men, Julian Khater and George Tanios, have pleaded guilty to assault charges related to the attack on Sicknick, and they also are named in the lawsuit.
