A Democratic congressman filed a federal lawsuit on Tuesday accusing former president Trump of inciting the deadly insurrection at the Capitol last month, the first lawsuit about the riot filed by a member of Congress.

Representative Bennie Thompson, a Mississippi Democrat and chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, also accuses Trump in his suit of conspiring with his legal team and right-wing extremists to block the Senate from certifying President Biden’s electoral victory.
