Former President Donald Trump and his attorney this week asked a federal judge to throw out a lawsuit filed by Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.) over their speeches on Jan. 6.

The lawsuit from Thompson and the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) charges that Trump and Rudy Giuliani’s speeches incited a storming of the U.S. Capitol.
