(CNN) Former President Donald Trump was hit with two new federal lawsuits Tuesday from law enforcement officers who were at the US Capitol on January 6 and who allege that Trump directed the assault that left them injured and emotionally traumatized.
The two complaints -- one filed by a US Capitol Police officer and another by two members of the DC Metropolitan Police -- join six other civil suits that have been filed against Trump, the rioters or others for their alleged role in encouraging the Capitol attack.
The latest cases accuse Trump of directing assault and battery; aiding and abetting assault and battery; and violating local Washington, DC, laws that prohibit incitement of riots and disorderly conduct.
They also bring claims under the Ku Klux Klan Act, a Reconstruction-era law that has been cited in other January 6 lawsuits against Trump and his allies.
