A Democratic congressman has filed a lawsuit against former president Donald Trump, his son Donald Jr, his lawyer Rudy Giuliani and a Republican lawmaker for allegedly inciting the January 6 attack on the US Capitol.
"The defendants assembled, inflamed and incited the mob, and as such are wholly responsible for the injury and destruction that followed," Swalwell said.Swalwell was one of the impeachment managers for Trump's trial in the Senate on the charge of inciting insurrection.
Thompson and the NAACP, a civil rights organization, filed suit against Trump, Giuliani and two right-wing groups, the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers, last month. Among the latest arrests was Federico Guillermo Klein, 42, a Trump appointee to a low-level State Department job. According to the complaint, Klein worked at the State Department since 2017 on Brazilian and other Latin American affairs and had a Top Secret clearance.
