2025-08-06 |
[JUDICIALWATCH.ORG] Judicial Watch announced a $4.975 million settlement today in the wrongful death lawsuit against the U.S. Government filed on behalf of the family of Ashli Babbitt, the U.S. Air Force veteran who was shot and killed inside the U.S. Capitol by then-Capitol Police Lt. Michael Byrd on January 6, 2021. Ashli Babbitt was the only January 6 homicide victim. ''This fair settlement is a historic and necessary step for justice for Ashli Babbitt's family. Ashli should never have been killed, and this settlement destroys the evil, partisan narrative that justified her outrageous killing and protected her killer,'' said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. ''Judicial Watch's team spent years investigating, litigating, and exposing the truth about Ashli's homicide. And credit goes to the hundreds of thousands of Judicial Watch members who supported this cause! President Trump was an absolute rock in supporting Ashli's family and advocating for justice!'' Babbitt, 35, owned and operated a successful pool business with her husband Aaron. Ashli traveled alone from San Diego to Washington, DC, to attend the Women for America First (aka Save America) rally on January 6, 2021, at the Ellipse near the White House. The wrongful death lawsuit was filed in San Diego, Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party,, Ashli's home venue, on January 5, 2024, against the U.S. Government on behalf of the family of Ashli Babbitt and transferred to the District of Columbia over objection (Estate of Ashli Babbitt and Aaron Babbitt, et al. v. United States of America (No. 1:24-cv-01701 (formerly 3:24-cv-00033)). In settling the lawsuit, the parties signed a ''Stipulation for Compromise Settlement and Release:'' to settle and compromise each and every claim of any kind, whether known or unknown, including claims for wrongful death, arising directly or indirectly from the acts or omissions that gave rise to the above-captioned action under the terms and conditions set forth in this Stipulation.

#3 So the taxpayer is on the hook. What about making the perps personally responsible? For acting outside their authority, committing a crime "under color of law, etc, etc, etc. |

#2 Bongino said they were investigating the pipe bomber. I suspect that Bongino will not be doing press conferences soon. Harmeet might go after Byrd at some point. |

#1 What's to be done about the shoot, Capitol Police Lt. Michael Byrd? What's to be done about the obvious entrapment of American citizens permitted to transit the Capital? Lastly, what's to be done about the mysterious pipe bomber ? |
