The family of a Capitol police officer who died a day after defending the building during the Jan. 6 riot has filed a wrongful death lawsuit against former President Donald Trump and two rioters.
The estate of Brian Sicknick, represented by his long-time partner Sandra Garza, is seeking $10 million in damages from all three defendants in the suit filed in US District Court.
The two rioters named in the suit, Julian Khater and George Tanios, were criminally charged with assaulting Sicknick and other officers with chemical spray.
Sicknick, who was 42, suffered multiple strokes and died in the hospital on Jan. 7. A medical examiner ruled his death to have been a result of natural causes, but later said the violent events a day earlier “played a role in his condition.”
“Former President Donald Trump called Khater and Tanios to Washington DC to attack the Capitol and they answered. This directly caused Officer Sicknick’s death,” estate attorney Matt Kaiser said in a statement.
