The partner of a US Capitol Police officer who died a day after the 6th January 2021 riot has sued Donald Trump for wrongful death.

The lawsuit filed on Thursday says Trump "intentionally riled up the crowd" that attacked Brian Sicknick.

Police have ramped up security on Capitol grounds on the second anniversary of the riots.

Hundreds have been convicted so far, but the FBI says there are more at large.

Federal police believe that more than 300 people who committed violent acts that day are yet to be identified.

Among them is a person responsible for planting pipe bombs outside the headquarters of the Republican and Democratic national committees the night before the riots.

On Wednesday, the FBI said it will offer US $500,000 to anyone with information that can help them catch the suspect.

The US Capitol riot erupted two years ago as Congress certified President Joe Biden's victory in the 2020 election.
