Former President Donald Trump is already facing several lawsuits and investigations that have been building up over his presidency and through the remaining months of his term. The former president is now faced with one more lawsuit, this time filed by two of the Capitol Police officers that were injured during the riots.
Two Capitol Police officers filed a lawsuit against Trump Tuesday at a US District Court in DC on charges of inciting an insurrection last January 6, when a pro-Trump mob stormed the Capitol to stop the certification of electoral votes.
The officers are also seeking compensation for the physical and emotional damages they sustained as a result. Veteran officers James Blassingame and Sidney Hemby filed the lawsuit against the former president, seeking $75,000 in damages each.
“This is a complaint for damages by US Capitol Police officers for physical and emotional injuries caused by the Defendant Donald Trump’s wrongful conduct inciting a riot on January 6, 2021, by his followers trying to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election,” the lawsuit said.

A DC jury will award each of them a billion dollars.
They don’t have any linkage between Trump and the rampage. Maybe they hope for a few mil in settlement.
What scumbags.
I bet $100K that every single one of them is a Leftist.
Discovery in those suits will be very interesting.
They are both suing for Trump $75,000 each. That’s a pretty modest amount. I’m guessing they probably voted for him.
Qualified Immunity, Baby!
Goose, meet Gander.
And dereliction of duty for everyone else on duty , for not doing their job.
Any article that states or implies that five people died due to events at the Capitol building should be given no credibility in the rest of the article either. Either they are uninformed or lying which diminishes to their credibility.
Opportunistic scumbags
I bet $100K that every single one of them is a Leftist.
***********
Safe bet. Most everyone who lives and works in DC is. They are like the Praetorian Guard for the Deep State.
Wouldn’t they have to prove that he is responsible for them first?
They say you can sue anyone for just about anything.
What are the injuries?
Hurt feelings?
Triggered by Trump?
No. He’s a Democrat. Just like Ambassador Stevens’ family can’t sue Hillary.
And what are their damages worthy of suit? Real injuries?
As the late G. Gordon Liddy would have said, “Bravo sierra!”
Maybe these police officers WANT discovery so they can NAIL Nancy and the Dems to the wall, we ALL know this was a complete setup these officers were told by someone to LET these people into the building WE ALL saw it!! They can’t come forward without being raked over the coals BUT if they have discovery it will come out on Trumps side of the case!! These officers are asking for a minimal amount of money!! Just a thought!!
Can’t Sue him while he was President!
“Veteran officers James Blassingame and Sidney Hemby...”
Sounds like two fairies married to each other.
