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.

Who do we sue to get our country back?
Must be “officers of color”.
They might better be suing Antifa for that mess.
No, for the very same reason Trump can’t be: Sovereign immunity.
I believe Trump would also be protected under the Federal Tort Claims Act and its companion legislation, the Westfall Act.
Of course, I’m sure every federal judge who hears this case will forget all about the REAMS of existing precedent that should foreclose such an lawsuit.
Bogus lawsuits.
What happened to these officers is part of “police work.”
If they wanted a safer environment, they should’ve chosen a different profession.
Hi.
Mental masturbation.
January 6, president Trump has sovereign immunity.

NANZI, SCHMANURE AND SCHIFF WERE LYING IN WAIT LIKE COMMON CRIMINALS FOR TRUMP AND REPUBS TO MAKE THE WRONG MOVE.
The Mueller thing was an impeachment trap Trump did not fall for——Mueller was supposed to get fired by Trump to activate the impeachment plans.
REMEMBER THIS? JONATHAN TURLEY WARNED US:
<><> House Intel Chair Adam Schiff insisted there was no time to waste in getting impeachment to the Senate ......
<><> (deluded) key Dems claimed there was a “WH crime spree in progress” and no time to delay.
<><> Pelosi immediately blocked submission of articles to the Senate.....apparently stalling for time
<><>...... suddenly demanding testimony from witnesses the House calculatedly ommited........
<><> (yawn) time is no longer of the essence.
Impeachment was a means to an end——
PELOSI DESPERATELY WANTED MUELLER’S FULL DOSSIER-—AND HERE’S WHY:
The Mueller investigation was purposed to dig, legally, into every aspect of Donald Trump, his family, his friends, his finances, his companies, his legal holdings, his lawyers, his accountants, his history… all of it… and they did so under both Title-1 and Title-3 surveillance authority; the Mueller probe was a counterintelligence operation (and tasked to cover-up all Democrat wrongdoing).
Mueller has President Trump’s travel records, phone records, electronic files, electronic communications, emails, electronic records, family files, medical records, bank records, tax records,… THE WORKS … all with unlimited surveillance authority as granted by former Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein and the useful status of an unlimited counterintelligence operation. Think about the scale of the material Weissmann and Mueller gained access to? Think about the scale of these Trump files?
Leaked revelations showed then-FBI lawyer Kevin Clinesmith manipulated evidence to attain a Title-1 FISA surveillance warrant against Trump principal Carter Page to conduct political espionage against the Trump campaign.
NOTE WELL: When Mr. Clinesmith manipulated evidence to attain the phony FISA warrant, he was working under the guidance of FBI supervisory agent Peter Strzok.-—snip——rest posted on FR
No standing. Protected speach.
And not really worth it to settle...go to court Trump
Well what exactly did they think their jobs as police were for? I’m guessing sitting around eating donuts all day.
All they have to do is show the video of Capital cops letting the crowd through by taking down the barriers. Self inflicted!
A member of the Capitol Police thought his job was to shoot and kill an unarmed Trump supporter, Ashli Babbitt. AFAIK his identity has not yet been released.
Yes...I had to laugh, though-I didn’t really think about how someone might respond to my post, and for a second, I thought for sure the response would be a monotone:
“Oh. You figured that out for yourself, did you?”
More lawfare from criminal democrat party lawyers and a democrat party voter.
