In addition to wrongful death, the lawsuit accuses Donald Trump of violating Officer Brian Sicknick's civil rights, assault and negligence.
abc.net.au/news/donald-trump-brian-sicknick-capitol-riot-lawsuit/101833088The family of a US Capitol police officer who died a day after the January 6 riots has sued former president Donald Trump for wrongful death, claiming he incited his supporters to commit violence.
They ruled Mr Sicknick's death was due to natural causes, but said the violent events of January 6 likely "played a role in his condition". "Defendant Trump intentionally riled up the crowd and directed and encouraged a mob to attack the US Capitol and attack those who opposed them," Mr Sicknick's estate has claimed in court papers filed on Thursday local time."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.

Ms Gada’s remarks come after Republican Kevin McCarthy failed to secure enough votes on three consecutive ballots for speaker in the United States’ House of Representatives. “I would just quickly make the point that this whole thing that we’re seeing, it’s the result of a long-brewing 30-40 years now civil war in Republican Party, amplified by Trump but not caused by Trump,” she told Sky News host Gary Hardgrave.
