endy Davis and others on board a Joe Biden campaign bus last year when it was surrounded and followed by former President Donald Trump supporters filed two federal lawsuits on Thursday.

 

The first targets seven individual drivers who were allegedly part of the so-called "Trump Train" that tailed the campaign bus on I-35 in Texas on Oct. 30, 2020. The plaintiffs are Davis, a former Texas state senator; Eric Cervini, a historian; David Gins, a White House staffer; and Timothy Halloway, the driver of the Biden campaign bus.

 

The suit alleges the "Trump Train" group violated the Ku Klux Klan Act of 1871 as well as Texas law by planning a "politically-motivated conspiracy to disrupt the campaign and intimidate its supporters."

 

The plaintiffs, the documents said, suffer ongoing psychological and emotional injury. Holloway, the driver, said he found himself unable to drive a bus following the incident.

 

"Defendants can and must be held accountable for their acts of political intimidation," the lawsuit reads. "This lawsuit seeks to enforce that accountability."

 

The FBI confirmed in November it was investigating the highway confrontation.

 

At the time, Trump tweeted a video of the Trump supporters following the Biden bus with the caption: "I LOVE TEXAS!"
