Former President Donald J. Trump is involved in a lot of lawsuits, some more high-profile than others. In the aftermath of the violence of Jan. 6, 2021, lawyers representing Capitol police officers filed suit against Trump, “Stop the Steal,” the Proud Boys, and the Oath Keepers, among others. The suit argues that the attack on the Capitol violated the Ku Klux Klan Act and that Trump and others deliberately spread election-fraud claims and incited violence against the law-enforcement officers whose job it was to protect them. The civil case, Smith v. Trump, is ongoing and currently in discovery.
