The officers said they suffered ‘physical and emotional injuries’ in the riot they said was ‘aided and abetted’ by Trump.
Two Capitol Police officers have sued former United States President Donald Trump for inciting the January 6 insurrection that left dozens of their fellow officers injured and one dead. Officers James Blassingame and Sidney Hemby said they suffered “physical and emotional injuries” in the riot they said was fomented by Trump and his campaign of misinformation as he sought to overturn the election victory of President Joe Biden. Five people died in the breach, including Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick. “The insurrectionists were spurred on by Trump’s conduct over many months in getting his followers to believe his false allegation that he was about to be forced out of the White House because of massive election fraud,” they said in the suit filed in federal court in Washington, DC.
