77% Informative
Jeffrey Smith's widow is suing David Walls-Kaufman , a chiropractor who pleaded guilty to Capitol riot-related misdemeanor in January 2023 .
A federal jury in Washington , D.C. , began hearing testimony Monday for a civil trial expected to last roughly one week.
Erin Smith is seeking “some modicum of justice” for herself and her husband.
Erin Smith also sued another former defendant, Taylor Taranto , whose Capitol riot charges were dismissed after Trump ’s Jan. 20 proclamation.
She claims Taranto helped Kaufman escape from police.
The presidential pardon didn’t cover those charges.
More than 100 law-enforcement officers were injured during the riot.
