Trump Strikes Deal With Ashli Babbitt’s Family — $30M Lawsuit Over Capitol Shooting Settled To Avoid Trial

Trump Strikes Deal With Ashli Babbitt’s Family — $30M Lawsuit Over Capitol Shooting Settled To Avoid Trial

Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

The Trump administration has quietly reached a settlement with the family of Ashli Babbitt, the Trump supporter fatally shot during the violent breach of the U.S. Capitol on January 6th, 2021.

Sources confirmed to CBS News that both sides agreed to the settlement in principle, though it has yet to be officially signed. This move helps avoid a high-profile trial in the $30 million civil lawsuit filed on behalf of Babbitt’s estate, led by conservative group Judicial Watch.

Attorneys for Babbitt’s estate claimed she was unarmed, her hands raised and visible when she was shot while attempting to climb through a shattered window into the Speaker’s Lobby, just steps from where Members of Congress were evacuating.

The Justice Department, which defended Byrd, stood by its conclusion that he acted lawfully to protect lawmakers. In its filings, the department explained that Babbitt had unlawfully entered the Capitol, where she attempted to breach a barricaded area. Byrd, stationed on the other side, fired a single fatal shot to prevent further danger.

An internal review by Capitol Police in August 2021 cleared Byrd of wrongdoing, calling his actions potentially life-saving as rioters neared the House Chamber.

This chapter comes after a sweeping move by President Trump, who, shortly after taking office, pardoned over 1,500 Capitol riot defendants and ousted prosecutors involved in the Jan. 6 cases. Brendan Ballou, a former prosecutor, accused the administration of trying to erase the history of that day.

“The goal is to make Jan. 6 forgotten,” Ballou told CBS News. “Many political careers depend on that.”

With the settlement near completion, the Babbitt family’s lawsuit will close, but debates over accountability and the legacy of January 6 continue to stir the nation.

    Wow—you trespass on federal property, while our congress is engaging in the most time honored and democratic traditions that is a hallmark of American freedom, and she intentionally breaks a window and forcing herself through, where our nation’s congress persons are just feet away and in obvious fear for their lives with chants of “Hang Pelosi and Schumer.” Now her family gets $60 million? Unbelievable—this woman was a traitor who betrayed all the men and women in uniform, and should be treated as such. She is NOT a matryr, but a Darwin award recipient and we should be glad that she did not leave any progeny that would perpetuate the stupid chromosone.
