A Capitol Police officer has filed a lawsuit on the anniversary of the Jan. 6 riot accusing former President Trump of contributing to injuries she sustained when a mob of his supporters attacked the U.S. Capitol.
“Officer Kirkland endured an odyssey in which she started as one of the twenty or so USCP officers sent to the West Front of the United States Capitol, and ended covered in chemical spray, blood, with a traumatic brain injury that would cost her a year of her personal and professional life, and physical and personal injuries that will be with her indefinitely,” the lawsuit said.
Kirkland reiterated those claims in her lawsuit, saying fighting off the mob left her with numerous injuries, including a concussion.
