"Judge Partially Dismisses Civil Suit Against Trump Related to Officer Sicknick's Death Post-Jan. 6"

A federal judge has partially dismissed a lawsuit against former President Donald Trump related to the death of Capitol Police officer Brian Sicknick following the January 6 Capitol riot. While wrongful death and negligence claims were dismissed, the suit can proceed under D.C.'s Survival Act, which allows legal action on behalf of a deceased person. Sicknick's partner, Sandra Garza, who is representing his estate, can continue her civil lawsuit on these grounds. The medical examiner had previously stated Sicknick died of natural causes after suffering strokes, but also indicated the events of January 6 played a role in his condition.
