D.C. AG filed a civil lawsuit seeking harsh penalties against Proud Boys, Oath Keepers over roles in Jan. 6 riot. 'This is a lawsuit that is backing up the law, and the law tells us that you cannot violently attack the Capitol,' D.C. AGKarlRacine says.
The House select committee investigating the Capitol attack recommended to hold the former Trump chief of staff in contempt of Congress for refusing to appear for a deposition under subpoena.WASHINGTON -- The District of Columbia has filed a civil lawsuit seeking harsh financial penalties against far-right groups Proud Boys and Oath Keepers over their role in the Jan.
“Out intent is to hold these violent mobsters and violent hate groups accountable and to get every penny of damage we can,” Racine said. “If it so happens that we bankrupt them, then that's a good day.”The lawsuit cites as its basis a post-Civil War 1871 law known as the Ku Klux Klan Act.
The men, Isaiah Giddings and Freedom Vy of Philadelphia and Brian Healion of Upper Darby, are all accused of working with another suspected Proud Boys member, Zachary Rehl — who was arrested in March — to breach the Capitol. Prosecutors say the group traveled together from Pennsylvania and the trio was photographed posing both outside the Capitol and inside the building.
“They're going to have to spend money to defend themselves,” Norton said. “Even if we don't get a penny in restitution, this lawsuit's deterrent effect will say, ‘Be prepared to spend money to defend yourself because we are coming after you.’ ”
