Officer Briana Kirkland is the latest law enforcement official on duty during the attack at the Capitol to file a civil lawsuit against the former president accusing him of inciting the violent mob of his supporters. According to the lawsuit, seen by NBC and CNN, Trump’s “provocative words and actions” in the run-up to January attack were to blame for the insurrection at the Capitol.

If there is one thing, less than three weeks out from the November election, that makes Democrats nervous amidst all the national polls showing Joe Biden with a healthy lead, it is the Trump ground game—which effectively didn’t exist in 2016—and the relative lack of one in the Biden campaign.
