KaiserDillon PLLC Sues Donald Trump and Other January 6 Rally Speakers for Causing the Riot at the Capitol

Matt Kaiser and Sarah Fink filed suit against Donald Trump, his son Donald Trump Jr., his advisor Rudy Giuliani, and Congressman Mo Brooks for their role in the violence at the U.S. Capitol on January 6 on behalf of Congressman Eric Swalwell. Caleb Andonian and Coburn & Greenbaum are also representing Congressman Swalwell on the suit.

The complaint, brought in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia, alleges that the Defendants created a widespread campaign of misinformation and incited rioters at the Rally to Save America, culminating in the sacking of the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021.

As the Complaint says:

“The peaceful transfer of power is a sacrament of American democracy.  Donald Trump, his son Donald Trump Jr., his advisor Rudy Giuliani, and Congressman Mo Brooks, together with many others, defiled that sacrament through a campaign of lies and incendiary rhetoric which led to the sacking of the United States Capitol on January 6, 2021.”
