Capitol Police Officers Sue Trump over Slush Fund for Jan. 6 Rioters & Other Allies

Two officers who defended the Capitol on January 6, 2021, have filed a lawsuit in federal court to block the creation of a $1.8 billion so-called anti-weaponization fund. Former Capitol Police officer Harry Dunn and Metropolitan Police Department officer Daniel Hodges are bringing the lawsuit because the fund could be used to compensate the Capitol rioters who attacked them and their colleagues. Both officers say they have faced continuous credible threats since that day. “This slush fund is going to be used to pay the Proud Boys, the Oath Keepers,” says Brendan Ballou, CEO of the Public Integrity Project, who is representing officers Dunn and Hodges. “It is going to give a presidential endorsement to these people, saying that not only … will they be put beyond the reach of the law, but they will actually be financially rewarded for doing so.” Ballou is also a former federal prosecutor who spent two years prosecuting January 6 Capitol rioters.

#ElissaSlotkin said her office was inundated with hundreds of #threats & that the #CapitolPolice told her that she required 24-hour security. The police were called to her father’s home in Michigan in a practice known as “swatting” after a caller falsely asserted that he was trying to kill his wife.

“My brother had to have a police car put in front of his home,” Slotkin said.
