The estate of a US Capitol Police officer who died a day after the 6 January 2021 riots has sued former president Donald Trump for wrongful death.

Police officer Sicknick died after the Capitol riot on 6 January 2021.The estate of a US Capitol Police officer who died a day after the 6 January 2021 riots sued former president Donald Trump for wrongful death on Thursday, claiming that he incited his supporters to commit violence that day.

A medical examiner said that Sicknick had not suffered any injuries during the attack on the US Capitol, where lawmakers were certifying results of the presidential election, ruling that Sicknick's death was due to natural causes, but said the violent events of 6 January likely"played a role in his condition".

"The violence that followed, and the injuries that violence caused, including the injuries sustained by Officer Sicknick and his eventual death, were reasonable and foreseeable consequences of Defendant Trump’s words and conduct," the lawsuit alleges.A spokesperson for Trump could not be reached for comment on Thursday evening.

Now the same insurectionists are holding the House of Representatives in limbo! The previous Speaker should remain as speaker until a satisfactory alternative is voted with a respectable majority! Remaining in limbo is not acceptable just like not having a pilot in an airplane!

He died of natural causes. His family has been misled with the bludgeoned to death lie.

Good luck with that.
