Two U.S. Capitol Police veterans on duty during the Jan. 6 riot sued Donald Trump, accusing the former president of inciting the violent mob that injured scores of officers.
The complaint, filed Tuesday, follows two suits by Democratic members of Congress who also blamed Trump for stoking the insurrection as part of a months-long effort to reverse his election loss to Joe Biden.
