I'll be attempting to juggle this and the Cleveland Meredith Jr. sentencing, so, we'll see how that goes. I'll tweet a link for you to watch once the stream starts. #CapitolRiot

If you're interested in @AGKarlRacine's January 6-related announcement starting shortly, you can watch live here (I will do my best to live-tweet it as well but I'm also monitoring the Cleveland Meredith sentencing): wusa9.com/video/news/liv…

Per my colleague @BruceLeshan, the D.C. AG's Office is filing a civil lawsuit accusing the Proud Boys, Oath Keepers and others of violating the Ku Klux Klan Act on January 6. Similar to a suit brought by 7 Capitol Police officers earlier this year.

.@AGKarlRacine says the defendants in this case "were not tourists, they were vigilantes, acting as part of a criminal mob."

.@AGKarlRacine says the lawsuit will attempt to impose "severe financial penalties" on the individuals and organizations responsible for January 6. Points to the extensive costs associated with the @DCPoliceDept deployment and subsequent injuries alone.

.@EleanorNorton says the lawsuit is key to recoup costs for medical expenses incurred by injured @DCPoliceDept officers on January 6.

Jumping back over to the Cleveland Meredith hearing, but here's a link to the lawsuit @AGKarlRacine just filed against the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…
