Jan. 6 Officers Sue Over Settlement Fund
3 days ago
Two police officers who defended the U.S. Capitol during the January 6 riot are suing to block payouts from a new $1.776 billion settlement fund.
The fund is intended for people who claim they were targeted by politically motivated prosecutions.
The lawsuit comes after Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche said he could not rule out the possibility that some January 6 rioters could qualify for compensation.
The case was filed Wednesday in federal court in Washington, D.C.
