The suit was filed on January 6th this year by Officer Brian Sicknick's longtime girlfriend Sandra Garza. It seeks $10 million from Trump and two others.
WASHINGTON — Former President Trump's attorneys have accepted service of a wrongful death lawsuit filed by the longtime partner of Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick, who died a day after the siege on the U.S. Capitol in 2021.
According to court documents, the lawsuit accuses Trump and co-conspirators of using a campaign of lies and incendiary rhetoric that led to the ransacking of the U.S. Capitol as part of an insurrectionist effort and ultimately the wrongful death of Sicknick.
Garza is also suing Julian Khater and George Tanios. Both men were sentenced Friday in federal court for their roles in connection with the assault on Sicknick. Tanios was sentenced to time served – five months in jail – after pleading guilty to two misdemeanors related to purchasing the pepper spray used to attack Sicknick and other officers.
Khater received a sentence among the most severe of the Capitol riot defendants, six years and eight months.
