Trump digs into who shot Ashli Babbitt, report that officer was on big Dem’s security detail
July 12, 2021 | Tom Tillison
Former President Donald Trump said Sunday that he has heard information that the U.S. Capitol Police officer who shot and killed unarmed Jan. 6 protester Ashli Babbitt was the “head of security” for a top Democrat.
Capitol Sergeant at Arms Timothy Blodgett dropped the name of the officer widely suspected of shooting Babbitt during a hearing, as was recently reported. Lt. Michael Byrd was at the door in the U.S. Capitol when the 14-year Air Force veteran was shot, Blodgett confirmed. The officer has reportedly been in hiding and under protection since that fateful day.
Trump appeared Sunday on Fox News’ “Sunday Morning Futures,” and was asked about January 6.
Saying there were a million people in Washington that day, Trump added, “They were there for one reason, the rigged election. They felt the election was rigged, that’s why they were there and they were peaceful people.”
The former president also said he suggested having 10,000 National Guard troops standing by and that the offer was ultimately turned down by those responsible for Capitol security.
