On the eve of the second anniversary of the Jan. 6, 2021, storming of the Capitol, the longtime girlfriend of the late Capitol Police officer Brian Sicknick has sued former President Donald Trump for $10 million.
The lawsuit was filed by a trio of lawyers that includes Mark Zaid, the attorney for the whistleblower that spurred the first impeachment of Trump in 2019, and tweeted in January 2017 just days after Trump’s inauguration “the coup has started.”
Sandra Garza’s lawsuit also targets the two charged with assaulting Sicknick during the storming of the Capitol — Julian Elie Khater and George Pierre Tanios, who both took plea deals — claiming wrongful death and conspiracy to violate civil rights.
“President Trump clearly and unequivocally stated that Americans should ‘peacefully and patriotically’ make their voices heard,” a spokesperson for Trump emailed Axios in a statement. “President Trump is immune from frivolous attacks and will continue to be fully focused on his mission to Make America Great Again.”
While Democrats and mainstream media have repeatedly claimed Sicknick died while serving during the riot, Sicknick suffered two strokes and died of natural causes, according to The Washington Post.
“Through his words and conduct, Defendant Trump endorsed and ratified the violent actions of the mob that attacked the U.S. Capitol, including Defendants Khater and Tanios,” the lawsuit claims.
“Before directing the mob to the U.S. Capitol, Defendant Trump instructed them to ‘fight like hell’ and declared that ‘you’re allowed to go by very different rules’ and ‘you have to show strength,'” the lawsuit read, taking talking points from the now-defunct House Jan. 6 Select Committee.
Should SUE PELOSI not TRUMP !!!!
Time for Babbit Family to Sue pelosi & D.C Mayor for Jan 06 !!!! D.C police office Murdered her Jan 06 / unarmed
standing at a door / invited in / Veteran Female (all on TV video ) live . No Charges yet on the officer !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Let her waste her money. And anyone else who tries because nothing happened that day to any officer and the truth would only come out in court.
What we really need is justice for Ashley Babbitt.
MAGA
and what about the out and out murders that took place by the POLICE
It would be wrong to sue Trump she should sue Pelosi the real culprit records will prove it get on with Biden’s impeachment and charges on Pelosi we have the right person in charge to do it now in Congress investigate, charge and jail.
Not a lawyer. But her boyfriend had a stroke at home and unfortunately it killed him. That does not give her grounds for a suit against anyone. Her lawyers should be sanctioned for filing a frivolous suit.
In like fashion, the others she’s suing have apparently been prosecuted and their cases concluded. She has no ground against them either.
Just a PR stunt.
I bet there will suddenly be a lot of ‘”girlfriends!”
