Washington DC is suing several far right extremist groups to cover the financial costs of the Capitol Building insurgency riots in January this year.

Both the so called Proud Boys and Oath Keepers will be held accountable for the protests instigated by then President Donald Trump, which left five people dead and dozens injured.

District of Columbia Attorney General Karl Racine made specific mention to the physical and financial harm the riots caused the city and its residents, and says they intend to hold these violent hate groups accountable for every penny of damage they can.
