Rep. Eric Swalwell , a Democrat representing the Bay Area of California , has taken out a liability insurance policy to protect himself.

He served as an impeachment manager in President Trump 's first impeachment trial in 2020 .

He is also the plaintiff in a four-year civil lawsuit seeking damages from Mr. Trump for the U.S. Capitol insurrection on Jan. 6, 2021 .

Defense attorneys for McIver say she has juggled initial proceedings in her case with her duties in the U.S. Capitol .

The legal battles are separate from the political acrimony that has been fueled by the physical confrontations.

The White House says Democrats are disingenuously characterizing their behavior with the help of the Fake News media.
