Judicial Watch Sues for Autopsy of Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick
We’re not going to get the full truth of events at the Capitol on January 6 from politicians or a dishonest media — no surprise there. So were going after it on our own.
We filed a District of Columbia Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit in the District of Columbia Superior Court against the District of Columbia for the autopsy of Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick and related records ( Judicial Watch v. District of Columbia (Case Number 2021 CA 000875 B)).
We sued after the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner (OCME) of the District of Columbia denied our February 16, 2021, FOIA request for:
All records, including but not limited to autopsy reports, toxicology reports, notes, photographs, and OCME officials’ electronic communications, related to the death on Jan. 6, 2021 of Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick and its related investigation.
Initial reports from the New York Times and other media outlets about the cause of Officer Sicknick’s death have subsequently been corrected and revised .
The unusual and unlawful secrecy about Officer Sicknick’s death investigation undermines public confidence in the fair administration of justice.
We also recently filed lawsuits for U.S. Capitol Police emails and video related to the riot and for Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s communications with the Pentagon in the days after the January 6th incident.
It will be particularly interesting to see if any politicians such as Nancy Pelosi or other outside officials communicated with the medical examiner’s office about Officer Sicknick.
Judicial Watch Sues for NY, PA COVID Nursing Homes Policies
New York Governor Andrew Cuomo is under fire for his policies that may have resulted in countless preventable nursing home Covid-19 deaths. But other states, such as Pennsylvania, had similar policies that needlessly increased risk for the nursing home residents. Again, not trusting the corrupted media or government to give us the full picture of this scandal, Judicial Watch went to court for answers.
We sued the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) for records about New York and Pennsylvania nursing home policies and procedures during the COVID-19 pandemic.
We filed the FOIA suit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia after the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) failed to respond to a December 7, 2020, FOIA request ( Judicial Watch, Inc. v. U.S. Department of Health of Human Services (No. 1:21-cv-00612)) for:
Communications, including emails and text messages, between Division of Nursing Homes Director Evan Shulman and Pennsylvania Secretary of Health Dr. Rachel Levine regarding policies and procedures for nursing facilities during COVID-19. The timeframe of this request is February 18, 2020 to June 1, 2020.
Communications, including emails and text messages, between Quality and Safety Oversight Group Director David Wrightand Pennsylvania Secretary of Health Dr. Rachel Levine regarding policies and procedures for nursing facilities during COVID-19. The timeframe of this request is February 18, 2020 to June 1, 2020.
Communications, including emails and text messages, between Division of Nursing Homes Director Evan Shulman and Pennsylvania Deputy for Quality Assurance Susan Coble regarding policies and procedures for nursing facilities during COVID-19. The timeframe of this request is February 18, 2020 to June 1, 2020.
Communications, including emails and text messages, between Quality and Safety Oversight Group Director David Wright and Pennsylvania Deputy for Quality Assurance Susan Coble regarding policies and procedures for nursing facilities during COVID-19. The timeframe of this request is February 18, 2020 to June 1, 2020.
Communications, including emails and text messages, between Division of Nursing Homes Director Evan Shulman and New York Department of Health Commissioner Howard Zucker regarding policies and procedures for nursing facilities during COVID-19. The timeframe of this request is February 18, 2020 to June 1, 2020.
Communications, including emails and text messages, between Qualityand Safety Oversight Group Director David Wright and New York Department of Health Executive Deputy Commissioner Sally Dreslin regarding policies and procedures for nursing facilities during COVID-19. The timeframe of this request is February 18, 2020 to June 1, 2020.
The U.S. Department of Justice and the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Brooklyn are investigating New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s handling of that state’s nursing homes during the pandemic. As of March 3, 2021, 15,430 nursing home and other long-term care residents in the state have died from COVID-19, according to the New York Long Term Care Community Coalition.
In February, Cuomo’s top aide reportedly admitted that New York withheld information about the coronavirus death toll in the state’s nursing homes out of fear that the true numbers would “be used against us” by federal government.
In Pennsylvania, as of February 25, at least 12,000 of the nearly 24,000 deaths attributed to coronavirus in that state reportedly occurred in nursing homes and long-term care facilities. Republicans in the state legislature have renewed calls for an investigation into how Gov. Tom Wolf’s administration has dealt with these facilities, specifically the state’s policy requiring that the facilities accept COVID-positive patients.
According to a report by Spotlight PA, coronavirus reports from the Pennsylvania Department of Health were “consistently missing data” on nursing homes. The state’s health department was headed during most of the pandemic by Dr. Rachel Levine, who has been nominated for a top position in HHS, believe it or not, in the Biden administration.
Thousands of nursing home residents in New York and Pennsylvania may have died thanks to those states’ COVID-19 mandates. The public, particularly those who lost loved ones due to the policies of the Cuomo and Wolf administrations, have a right to know the full truth about this public health scandal.

I have no idea what the specific law is in DC. But, in most states including mine, autopsy reports are generally publicly available for the simple reason that the dead have no expectation of privacy. There are some exceptions for other death-related records (some of which don’t make sense). For instance, while you can generally get an autopsy reported, you can’t always get a death certificate unless you’re an ‘interested party.’ Not sure why that is.
And/But, government generally can claim a FOIA exception for information directly related to an ongoing criminal investigation. IOW, they’ll probably be able to hide the report for a good long while.
Also, can we please get the Capitol Police to release the name of the officer who shot and killed an unarmed Trump supporter, Ashli Babbitt? We also need to know exactly why he was not prosecuted.
How about the criminal who murdered Ashley?
God rest Officer Sicknick’s soul.
The whole thing is just bizarre
The occupying regime is taking political prisoners just like they did during Obama’s two terms.
Now in his third unconstitutional occupation, he is going cuckoo arresting Trump supporters who were just standing there. This is against the constitution also.
This regime must go.
One way or another.
This
>> certainly appeared to be staged acting, according to the videos that were showing.
Ashli would have been shot in the gut given the angle of the barrel. Totally staged event.
I couldn’t agree more, from the video it looks like he executed that woman.
And yet her death seems to be going down the memory hole. People in power want her story gone, and they are winning.
No one is allowed to even think that now, everything nefarious and sinister is labeled a "wacko conspiracy theory" so it allows them to get away with whatever they want.
Ashli was most likely a fictional character created by the FBI and acted out by an FBI hired spook who works at the DMV in Idaho at her day job...LOL !
