THE WEEK'S BIG 3
Authorities in Poland, Russia, Hungary and some lawmakers in Britain’s Labour Party used antisemitism for political means, according to a new ADL report. ADL has positively identified 212 of the estimated 800 individuals who are believed to have breached the U.S. Capitol on January 6, revealing a wide array of domestic extremists were among those who unleashed their fury on legislators and Capitol police, leading to five deaths and scores of injuries. On the heels of the Senate's acquittal of Donald Trump, the NAACP and Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-MS) filed a lawsuit against the former president, Rudy Giuliani and two white supremacist groups, citing their role in the insurrection.

“The lawsuit, filed Tuesday morning in Federal District Court for the District of Columbia, alleges that Trump and Giuliani, in collaboration with the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers, conspired to incite the riot to keep Congress from certifying the results of the 2020 presidential election.
