Some Capitol Police officers are suing former President Trump and others over the January 6th Capitol riot.
Seven officers have filed a lawsuit in federal court accusing Trump, Republican operative Roger Stone, the white-supremist group "Proud Boys" and others of being directly responsible for the deadly riot. The lawsuit claims their actions violated the Ku Klux Klan Act and the D.C. Bias Related Crimes Act.
The NAACP has already filed a similar suit against Trump and his former personal lawyerRudy Giuliani.
The suit states "Many Black law enforcement officers protecting the Capitol were assaulted, threatened, spat on, and subjected to racial slurs."
