WASHINGTON — The longtime partner of a Capitol Police officer who died after the Jan. 6 attack sued former President Donald J. Trump and two Capitol rioters on Thursday, arguing that his death was a “direct and foreseeable consequence” of their roles in the mob violence that day.
The suit, filed in Federal District Court for the District of Columbia just before the second anniversary of the attack, seeks at least $10 million in damages each from Mr. Trump and two men accused of assaulting the officer, Brian D. Sicknick, with chemical spray on Jan. 6, George Tanios and Julian Elie Khater. Mr. Khater pleaded guilty in the assault, and Mr. Tanios pleaded guilty to misdemeanor charges.
“The horrific events of Jan. 6, 2021, including Officer Sicknick’s tragic, wrongful death, were a direct and foreseeable consequence of the defendants’ unlawful actions,” the suit said, adding that “the defendants are responsible for the injury and destruction that followed.”
Officer Sicknick died the day after the attack, but the Washington medical examiner ruled that it was from natural causes — multiple strokes that occurred hours after the mob confrontation — and prosecutors shied away from linking his death to the assault. But the medical examiner also said that “all that transpired played a role in his condition,” and the Capitol Police consider his death a “line of duty” fatality.

Second that.
The family was for Trump, but now this opportunistic greed tells a different story.
Disgraceful
The American Jesters System is a never-ending clown ride.
This goes no where.
They should sue Pelosi. She turned down the National Guard. This is all about greed.
Uhhh....they’d be more accurate if it was “Nancy Pelosi”
This is treating us like someone in a movie or tv show where the strong character is trying to hold to nonviolence while smirking little punks taunt him to fight. Finally we know he will give in.
Grifters.
I am sorry that Brian died of a stroke. Clearly, no one struck him b/c the footage would have been everywhere.
Sue Nancy, Mitch and Ray Epps if you must sue.
RE: This goes no where.
But the evil ones perpetrating this kind of thing will be going somewhere. Really hot, lots of screams and moans. An acrid odor of burning brimstone.
Won’t it be interesting when they show the autopsy and Pres Trump requests documents from the Speakers office in regards to any security requests, etc
Will the judge dis-allow discovery by Trump?
"Following 11 years together, they [Sicknick & Garza] “took a break” from the relationship last July to “figure out” their futures, but the couple remained “incredibly close” until the day Sicknick died."
Partner of Capitol cop who died calls Trump ‘mastermind’ of Jan. 6 riot
Article says they met in 2008, and they quickly moved in together. Claims the relationship had gone on for 11 years until they took their "break." If the relationship began in 2008, and it went on for 11 years, that means their break came in 2019.
My God, everyone in this country is for sale, aren’t they?
Lol
This won’t go anywhere.
Trump knows the lawfare game, he’s been swimming with New York City legal sharks his whole life.
Trump comes from the Big League of legal warfare.
HE/SHE/IT should sue Pelosi for refusing to get the Guard, and for a lot of other things that will come out in the circus this year. The Dems organizing Jan 6 freak show for one.
Wow that is a great find @Mass.
Send it to the judge! Dismissed!
Somebody on Patriots.win had commented that Garza and Sicknick had been on a "break." I did a search to see if there was an article about it, and found the NY Post link.
