A long time ago, I joined the call of Trump supporters saying that Pam Bondi needs to step down.&#8221; Thomas said the Jan. 6 defendants &#8220;have been dumped out.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Mark McCloskey, an attorney who said he is seeking financial payments for <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/capitol-police-chief-thomas-manger-retires-capitol-riot\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">Capitol riot<\/a><\/span> defendants, said in the video he was &#8220;very disappointed&#8221; in the Justice Department&#8217;s challenge to the Proud Boys lawsuit. He said if the Justice Department opposes other legal challenges seeking restitution or financial awards for Jan. 6 defendants, &#8220;It&#8217;s going to make our lives very difficult.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He predicted more legal challenges would be coming, as some of the more than 1,500 Jan. 6 defendants pursue financial compensation, and he referenced &#8220;hundreds&#8221; of people who could be impacted.<\/p>\n<p>The Justice Department did not have an immediate comment to the recent Jan. 6 defendants&#8217; online meeting.<\/p>\n<p>The civil lawsuit filed by Proud Boys members also alleges malicious prosecution and violation of Fourth Amendment protections, claims that the Justice Department rebutted in its response to the suit. \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In their Aug. 25 filing, the Justice Department argued the Proud Boys defendants failed to sufficiently demonstrate the case was &#8220;malicious&#8221; and that their constitutional rights had been violated. The 17-page filing from the department did not address whether the men had been rightfully or wrongfully convicted by a jury. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The Proud Boys also allege harsh conditions in jail in their lawsuit, and it referenced the language used in President Trump&#8217;s pardon order for Capitol insurrection defendants, which said, &#8220;This proclamation ends a grave national injustice that has been perpetrated upon the American people over the last four years and is a process of national reconciliation.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>An attorney who filed the suit did not immediately respond to requests for comment from CBS News.<\/p>\n<p>A Justice Department attorney who filed the motion to dismiss the Jan. 6 defendants&#8217; lawsuit has been harshly criticized by name on social media.
