Buzzfeed Article Feb 2021:
Here's the 1st lawsuit filed in Feb 2021 by Rep Bennie Thompson.
Rep. Bennie Thompson, a Democrat from Mississippi, is pressing a claim under what's known as the Ku Klux Klan Act, a Reconstruction-era law that includes a section that makes it illegal to conspire to prevent public officials from "discharging any duties." Thompson is alleging that Trump and Giuliani incited the mob that descended on the Capitol to prevent Congress from certifying the Electoral College vote, while leaders of the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers "acted in concert to spearhead the assault."
It's the first civil lawsuit seeking to hold Trump and his supporters accountable"
