Just 3 days after congress voted to acquit former President Donald Trump for inciting the January 6 insurrection at the Capitol, the NAACP has filed its own lawsuit.
This suit includes Trump's lackey lawyer Rudy Guiliani, and two white nationalist groups: the Proud Boys and the Oath Keepers.
The NAACP filed the suit on behalf of Democratic Representative Benny Thompson, who is expected to be joined by several other members of congress within his party.
The lawsuit claims Trump violated the Ku Klux Klan Act, which was enacted to protect former slaves and lawmakers in Congress from violence by white supremacists.
Representative Thompson, who is 72 years old, has said that if the Senate would have convicted Trump, he would not have filed the lawsuit.
