The longtime partner of one of the Capitol Police officers who died after being attacked in the Jan. 6 insurrection has filed a wrongful death suit against Donald Trump, according to a copy of the complaint obtained by ABC News
The suit, filed in federal court on Thursday by Sandra Garza, the partner of Officer Brian Sicknick, comes nearly two years since the attack -- and accuses Trump of being responsible for Sicknick's death.
Along with Trump, the suit also names two men as defendants, Julian Khater and George Tanios, who were charged with assaulting Sicknick with chemical spray.
Khater has since pleaded guilty to assaulting police with a dangerous weapon; Tanios pleaded guilty to entering and remaining in a restricted building and disorderly or disruptive conduct in that building.
Prosecutors said Tanios was the one who bought the spray. Tanios' attorney wrote last year in a court filing that he didn't personally "commit violent acts" on Jan. 6.
