Nearly three months after the violent insurrection in Washington D.C., two Capitol Hill police officers are suing Donald Trump for what they allege is his role in the January 6th riot. The officers are seeking damages for what they say are physical and emotional injuries, citing Trump’s own words to say he “inflamed, encouraged, incited, directed, and aided and abetted… the insurrectionist mob.” MSNBC’s Chief Legal Correspondent Ari Melber discusses the implications of the lawsuit with former federal prosecutor Renato Mariotti. (This interview is from MSNBC’s “The Beat with Ari Melber, a news show covering politics, law and culture airing nightly at 6pm ET on MSNBC. ). Aired on 03/31/2021.

Citizen Trump Sued By Capitol Police Officers For Role In Jan. 6th Insurrection
“Citizen Trump” 😂👍
Lmao.

Trumprison
Should just call him the former guy or even more suitable Traitor Trump.
This will probably be settled out of court
Good good, one of these lawsuits are gonna land. I just can’t wait for the photos of him being dragged out Maralago in cuffs
Good. I’d like to see The Big Blowhard in Court tell these officers & a jury that the insurrectionists were there to hug & kiss the officers.
Pay the officers? Trump never pays for anything, what makes him think Trump would pay the officers? And with what!? IOUs?
I want to see Trump forced to testify in on of these cases. That would really make my day.
LoL it will be so amusing to watch
Don’t think bozo can afford to pay. He’ll just file bankruptcy.
Then he’ll be forced to liquidate everything he owes to pay.
@Nick Romo but that’s the thing. dude is just all debt. smoke screen and mirrors. LMAO
Don’t look good for trump. Let’s see what happens
Stick with his original criminal alias—-Individual One. Let’s all pray he goes to prison.
