 A Pennsylvania state senator and former GOP gubernatorial candidate whose support for Donald Trump drew him to the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 has sued a Canadian university and nearly two dozen academics over criticism of him and his research into World War I hero Sgt. Alvin York.

The proposal from GOP senators comes after Republican gubernatorial candidate Doug Mastriano won the nomination with less than 50 percent of the vote, then was trounced in the general election.
