NAACP files lawsuit against Trump, Giuliani over Capitol insurrection

Washington, February 17 (RHC)-- In the U.S., the NAACP (National Association for the Advancement of Colored People) filed a lawsuit Tuesday against former President Donald Trump, Rudy Giuliani and far-right groups for inciting the deadly U.S. Capitol insurrection on January 6th. 

The lawsuit, brought on behalf of Mississippi congressmember and House Homeland Security Committee Chair Bennie Thompson, says Trump and others violated the 1871 Ku Klux Klan Act, which is supposed to protect Black people and lawmakers from white supremacist violence. 

NAACP President Derrick Johnson said: “The insurrection was the culmination of a carefully orchestrated, months-long plan to destroy democracy, to block the results of a fair and democratic election, and to disenfranchise hundreds of thousands of African-American voters who cast valid ballots.”
