Sandra Garza, the longtime partner of the fallen U.S. Capitol Police officer Brian Sicknick, filed a lawsuit against Trump and two other defendants charged with assaulting Sicknick during the Jan. 6 insurrection.
"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 complaint alleges. "Defendant Trump intended these words to be taken literally."
He also "intentionally riled up the crowd and directed and encouraged a mob to attack the U.S. Capitol and attack those who opposed them," per the complaint. "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."before the Capitol riot. "He knew that Brian was devoted to him, and he did not once reach out to me ... he didn't even send a letter of condolences," Garza told CBS News in June 2021. "He did absolutely nothing.
"President Trump is immune from frivolous attacks and will continue to be fully focused on his mission to Make America Great Again."Editor's note: This article has been updated with comment from a spokesperson for former President Trump.
