A top House Democrat is suing former President Donald Trump for, among other claims, “intentional infliction of emotional distress.”
California Democrat Eric Swalwell, previously best known for a failed presidential campaign, apparent flatulence on live television and a relationship with a Chinese spy, filed the 65-page lawsuit in a Washington, D.C. federal court.
Swalwell is suing Trump, former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani and his own House colleague, Alabama Republican Mo Brooks.
“Today, I filed a civil claim against Donald Trump, Donald Trump Jr., Rudolph Giuliani, and Rep. Mo Brooks for inciting an attack against the Capitol that terrorized lawmakers and prevented us from certifying the votes of the American people,” Swalwell announced on Twitter.
“I wear Communist-sympathizer Swalwell’s scurrilous and malicious lawsuit like a badge of courage,” Brooks shot back. “Under no circumstances will Swalwell, or any other Socialist, stop me from fighting for America.”
The suit claims that by alleging he 2020 election was “stolen” and urging their followers to “fight like hell” and “stop the count,” Trump, Giulinai and Brooks intentionally incited the January 6 riots at the U.S. Capitol, which led to Swalwell suffering “emotional distress.”
“As a direct and foreseeable consequence of the Defendants’ false and incendiary allegations of fraud and theft, and in direct response to the Defendants’ express calls for violence at the rally, a violent mob attacked the U.S. Capitol. Many participants in the attack have since revealed that they were acting on what they believed to be former President Trump’s orders in service of their country,” the suit claims.
It claims Trump, Giulani and brooks engaged in conspiracy to violate civil rights, neglect to prevent interference with civil rights, incitement to riot, disorderly conduct, “bias-related crimes,” intentional infliction of emotional distress, negligent infliction of emotional distress, aiding and abetting common-law assault.
The suit demands Trump, Giulani and Brooks pay Swalwell for actual and punitive damages. It is unclear whether Swalwell is suing Trump personally or in his official capacity. He lists his official title and House office address in the suit and claims interference with his official duties, but does not appear to be using House lawyers.

Swallow is a lying Hypocrite Troll.
His stress is self inflicted and you have to have a sole to have an emotion. DA
His ‘stress’ is from being exposed as a leak to China. He needs to be prosecuted for treason.
I wholeheartedly agree with you. Fartwell just wants to be in the limelight. Like anyone with a working brain cares anything about him!!
What a wussy baby. This is what represents American citizens? If this is your rep you should be ashamed to admit it. This is the same guy that was duped by a chinese honey pot spy. And Pelosi keeps him on a national security committee. Talk about a treasonous snake.
Swallwell is such a liar. When asked if he slept with the Chinese spy, he said That Is Classified. I believe he is the girlfriend of Shifty Schiff.
How can the sex act be classified when you work for the American citizens & especially on the Intel. Committee. How long did this affair go on. the American citizens have a right to know
Eric is so full of himself. Such a Trojan Horse. In the sack for everything China verses what’s good for the United States. Should be voted out at the next opportunity.
He is a sack!
REPRESENTATIVE FARTSALLOT SHOULD BE REMOVED FROM THE INTELLIGENCE COMMITTEE FOR HIS INVOLVEMENT WITH THE CHINESE COMMUNIST SPY LANG LANG, AND THE ONE SPY IN HIS OFFICE, WE HAVEN’T HEARD WHAT THE SPY WHO WAS BANGING SWALLY WHAT SHE LEARNED FROM HIM? AND WE NEVER WILL!

He not only peed in his pants but probably sharted IN PUBLIC, lol.
He is in reality a fart face !
I’d like to sue fang fang swalwell for selling us to the CCP. Swalell which means “swallow it all in chinese” is just another “do nothing democrat”. What a drama queen like most democrats.
He’s from California. He’s a Democrat representative from California. That makes him a member of the brutal vipers which includes a vice president/resident pro tem
The dictionary should absolutely have a pic of Eric’s mug under the definition of IDIOT. Emotional stress???? What did his wife suffer when national news publicizes his infidelity to a Chinese spy? She should be suing her old man.
QUESTION–DID FANG FANG SPIT OR SWALLOW SWALWELL?????????????????????
Laughable!
What a complete HORSE’S ASS 😑
Perhaps his Chinese sweetie can console him….
Oh how terrible for this poor thing. Wants to sue our Great President Trump because the creep feel distressed. What a wimp and a poor excuse as a male—not a man—but a wimp.
He probably wasn’t even in the White House..he was holding AOCs purse.
Fart boy should stick to banging Chinese spies, apparently it’s the only thing he knows how to do.
deer erik …
you cannot sue a Smarter Person simply because you are a crybaby and the other person isn’t.
WHO raised yo….
oh, you’re a democrat?

was he ‘elected’ by the Voters?
or is he in office because of the VOTE COUNTERS?
Trump should sue ALL DEMOCRATS for EMOTIONAL DISTRESS AND DEFAMATION OF CHARACTER.

Swalwell is a ASS!!! How can he file lawsuit against Pres. Trump for inciting a riot, when he was acquitted not once but twice. The worms have got to be stopped. WHY THE HELL WON’T ANYONE IN WH ANSWER QUESTIONS??? biden keeps crying for UNITY, but does NOTHING to bring that about!!!

We should be filing a class action against him and several others for the emotional abuse they are causing to us.
Waaaa…
KāMala’s John Sullivan attacked the Capital building
THE TRAITOR IS AT IT AGAIN————— SCREW HIM . HE WILL GET WHAT HE DESERVES.
amwericans need to sue Salwell and every other person who violated not only their oath of Office but the Constitution when they UNCONSTITUTIONALLY CLOSED the CAPITAL BUILDING. Congress is forbidden by the CONSTITUTION from conducting business in SECRET and CSPAN does not count since Congress controls those cameras. So they all should be booted from office Salwell included. Salwell himself should face another lawsuit over his giving away America’s secrets to his Chinese squeeze. Every Democrap should be charged with GRAND THEFT since they are being paid for work they are not doing. They are wasting time and money on their FARCES of Impeachment instead of doing what America needs them to do.
That was probably the best that he could do. Nothing else had any validity, wouldn’t stand up in court without evidence. He created the stress when he chose to work for CHINA AGAINST AMERICA We can pray for him and hope his constituents vote him out of office.
THIS PERSON IS A CLASSJERK WEASEL AND A BIG CRYBABY –THE CITIZENS OF THIS COUNTRY SHOULD SUE EVERY DEMOCRAT THAT SERVES IN CONGRESS FOR THE FAILURE TO DO ANYTHING –TALK ABOUT SCREWING THIS COUNTRY –THAT IS WHAT HAPPENED AND STILL HAPPENING — BESIDES MAYBE BEING A TRAITOR WAS PART OF OUR DISSTRESS FROM YOU —
Well with emotional distress he will no longer be able to own a firearm in CA. I hope the Alameda County sheriff is looking into this asap.
Such a sensitive young man. Boo, Hoo.
Fan fang is her master..
Don’t wait today MUST sue Nancy Pelosi for gross negligence causing the wrongful dead of Ashli Babbit in the Capitol riot, she was unarmed, who gave those orders to the the Capitol police to shot an unarmed person without first giving prior notice of that they will be shooting at them , violating the law.
No one is above the Law not even the POTUS, Nancy fired the experienced Capitol chief of police days before the riots and placed an inexperienced person to be in charge, refused the offer from the POTUS TRUMP to have 10,000 troops to stop riots in DC, there are multiple videos that show how the Capitol Police let the rioters in the Capitol and also guide them to the chambers then inside to ambush them and gun down an innocent person.
We The People want the Law to be upheld even to everyone, no one is above the LAW.
Now the say the Capitol police that shot Babbit is in hiding who is helping him to do so, and why they haven’t open an investigation!!!.
Firstly Eric Stallwell is not a top Politician/ He is in my book a clot! I still have an image of him talking on TV and his tummy having a bit of a rumble? (Gas) No hw is still full of gas ! Colluding with a Chinese Spy!
Waaa! Waaa! And Trump should have the Justice Dept’. “SUE” him for treason.
Those China Doll’s.
Sounds to me like Swalwell is an out and out communist. He probably filed this suit on the behest of the CCP.
“Today, I filed a civil claim against Donald Trump, Donald Trump Jr., Rudolph Giuliani, and Rep. Mo Brooks for inciting an attack against the Capitol that terrorized lawmakers and prevented us from certifying all the illegal votes of the fraudulent election,” Swalwell announced on Twitter.
Trump should sue the democrats ,the FBI, the Doj, and every owner of the main stream media newspapers and tv programs , for emotional distress.
Seriously…..this is a joke…right?
Perhaps all our combat veterans should sue for the emotional stress they suffered in combat. Orhey, how about every military veteran suing for the emotional distress inflicted on them in Boot Camp. Swalwell is just a another coward trying to convince us that he’s a brave victim of someone else. He and his lawsuit are as weak and impotent as a popcorn fart in a gale.
What a jerk!
Swalwell and his Chinese mistress are part of the swamp and CCP, if he can’t get over the stress of his own mistakes, he DOESN’T belong in politics. Maybe WE, THE PEOPLE should all have a class action lawsuit against him for treasonous behavior and corruption.
Poor baby. We all know that Swelwell should have been removed from office along with Feinstein for consorting with spies of a foreign nation.
Now he is after more money
Swalwell is a joke -a pathetic joke …..but still a joke.
He is more proof on how dumb the people in the state of California have become. Lets see now, they have elected Swalwell, Feinstein, Padilla, Lee, Costa, Waters etc. etc.
California wins the award for sending the most IDIOTS to Washington DC. The people they have elected could fill up an insane asylum.
Did he drop his binkie?? 😂
Just makes me want to up chuck when I give thought to Swallow and other Americans in bed with China and their woman. In yesterday, these people would be deemed traitors.
