A federal judge has dismissed part of a lawsuit against Donald Trump brought by the partner of Capitol Police officer Brian Sicknick, who died a day after being attacked by rioters during the 6 January 2021 insurrection.
US District Court Judge Amit Mehta on Tuesday ruled that Sicknick’s partner, Sandra Garza, lacked “statutory standing” to file a claim against Mr Trump as she was not his spouse or domestic partner under Washington DC law.
