A group of January 6 defendants has reportedly filed a class action lawsuit against 21 Capitol Police officers and others for millions of dollars in damages.
Defendant Jake Lang told Real America’s Voice on Friday that the group of more than 78 defendants filed the lawsuit, according to Newsweek.
He told the show, “I got shot in the foot with a rubber bullet, other people were bludgeoned nearly to death, hit with chemical spray and had long-lasting lung effects and so… we are now serving 21 defendants…Capitol Police officers, Capitol Police officials.”
Lang turned 29 on April 7 — his fourth birthday behind bars without a trial. He posted on X:
Lang was 25 when he participated in a protest at the Capitol on January 6, 2021, as Congress was preparing to certify the 2020 presidential election results.
He was arrested shortly after January 6 when people saw his social media posts about participating in the protest and contacted federal authorities, according to the FBI’s affidavit.
Lang is accused of assaulting, resisting, or impeding certain officers or employees; civil disorder; unlawful entry in a restricted building or grounds; and violent entry or disorderly conduct. The affidavit said a video showed he “swung, thrusted, and/or jabbed” a bat at Capitol Police officers. He has pleaded not guilty to all counts.
He also said, “17 other US Capitol Police / MPD officers & officials remain to be SERVED in the J6 Class Action Lawsuit for their actions that left 4 unarmed peaceful protestors dead.”
