 DOJ confirms ‘settlement in principle’ over Ashli Babbitt’s Jan. 6 death
by Ella Lee - 05/02/25 3:05 PM ET

The Justice Department said Friday that a “settlement in principle” has been reached with rioter Ashli Babbitt’s family to resolve a lawsuit they filed over her death during the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol attack.

At an emergency hearing Friday afternoon, DOJ lawyer Joseph Gonzalez and Robert Sticht, a lawyer for Babbitt’s husband, Aaron, acknowledged the settlement agreement but said that nothing has been signed. They indicated that the exact terms of the agreement were still in flux and would not be imminently formalized.

Neither attorney revealed whether the settlement includes a monetary component or other terms of the agreement. The Babbitt family initially sought $30 million.

Babbitt was shot and killed by law enforcement during the Jan. 6 Capitol riot as she attempted to climb through a barricaded door to the Speaker’s lobby near the House chamber.

The lawsuit — filed by the conservative legal group Judicial Watch on behalf of Babbitt’s estate and her husband — alleged that U.S. Capitol Police Lt. Michael Byrd was negligent when he fired at Babbitt that day. An internal USCP investigation cleared Byrd of any wrongdoing.

Prosecute Byrd. He must be held accountable for her homicide.

I was going to say if it doesn’t include prison time for him then it’s not enough.

Compare to Officer Derek Chauvin, who just kneeled on the side of a known criminal's neck...and you see which way the bias runs in the courts.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Judicial Watch:  Lt. Byrd, who killed Ashli Babbitt, received special protection, faced no prosecution, no real investigation, and lived at a military facility for 6 months—all on YOUR tax dollars.

Julie Kelly reports the judge threw a fit over the settlement: the judge is Ana Reyes, the crazy Biden appointee. She is SCREAMING at both sides about who knew what about the proposed settlement.

No "settlement" that allows Byrd to walk around free is acceptable.

If Ashley Babbit had been a leftist black, the ruins from the ensuing "chimp out" would still be smoldering.

...and she was not the only one killed by police that day.
