U.S. Government Sued For $30 Million Over Ashli Babbitt’s Death
Judicial Watch, a conservative organization, has filed a lawsuit against the U.S. government for the wrongful death of Ashli Babbitt, an Air Force veteran who was killed on January 6, 2021 by a U.S. Capitol Police officer.
The lawsuit claims the officer who shot Babbitt, Michael Byrd, was negligent and “ambushed” her.
The U.S. Department of Justice did not bring charges against Byrd. U.S. Capitol Police did not take action against him. Byrd has since been promoted.
Tom Fitton, the president of Judicial Watch, said, “Judicial Watch and our supporters are honored to represent Ashli’s steadfast widower Aaron Babbitt and her estate in this legal action. Ashli was shot in cold blood, and the rule of law requires justice for her.”
