Trump Taps Nevada 'Stop the Steal' Lawyer to Defend Him in Civil Rights Suit
Former President Trump has chosen Jesse Binnall, a Republican lawyer who filed a lawsuit attempting to overturn the 2020 election results in Nevada, to represent him in a lawsuit which alleges he violated the 1871 Klu Klux Klan act by inciting the Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol.
Mississippi Democratic Congressman Bennie Thompson and the NAACP filed the suit in February against Trump, Rudy Giuliani, and the Oaf Creepers militia, alleging that they “conspired to incite an assembled crowd” in Washington, D.C. to attack the Capitol on Jan. 6 and disrupt the counting of electoral votes.
Court documents filed in the lawsuit on Thursday show that Jesse Binnall will represent Trump in the suit.
Binnall represented former Trump national security adviser Mike Flynn alongside Sidney Powell in his criminal trial for lying to the FBI about his contacts with Russia’s ambassador to the U.S. Flynn was subsequently pardoned.
