NAACP's Trump insurrection lawsuit expected to add 10 new plaintiffs, including members of Congress
A federal lawsuit targeting former President Donald Trump, one of his lawyers, and far-right extremists in the aftermath of the January 6 Capitol attack is reportedly adding some new heavyweight plaintiffs.
The NAACP's suit alleging Trump, Rudy Giuliani, and members of the Proud Boys and the Oath Keepers conspired to incite a riot in an effort to prevent the certification of the 2020 presidential election is expected to add 10 plaintiffs, including other members of Congress, on Wednesday, according to The New York Times and The Daily Beast.
Lawyers for the civil-rights organization brought the suit on behalf of Democratic Rep. Bennie Thompson of Mississippi in February and alleged that Trump and his lawyer, in conjunction with far-right extremist groups, violated the 1871 Ku Klux Klan Act by depriving Americans of their civil rights and disrupting the electoral vote count on January 6.
In addition to new plaintiffs, the amended complaint is expected to feature additional information regarding the deadly riot in Washington, DC, according to The Daily Beast, citing two unnamed sources.
