The police officer who shot dead Ashli Babbitt during the Capitol riot will reveal his identity on Thursday when he sits down for a television interview to explain how the tragic events unfolded.
Babbitt, 35, was the only person killed during the insurrection when the officer opened fire as a MAGA mob stormed through the Rotunda.
'Speaking out and revealing his identity publicly for the first time, the officer will share his perspective on the events of that day, including the aftermath of the deadly insurrection and the threats he has received,' said NBC News in a statement announcing that he would be interviewed by Lester Holt.
'He will also discuss the recent news that Capitol Police will not discipline him following an internal review, exonerating him for use of force.'
The interview will be broadcast at 6.30PM eastern.
The Department of Justice said it would not file charges against the officer in April and last week he was exonerated by an internal Capitol Police investigation.

If there is Justice!
Will he be wearing his medal for saving ‘aoc’ from rape and certain death? πππ©
This despicable creature wants to CASH IN for his COWARDLY ASSASSINATION!
This doesn’t pass the smell test for justice.
I wish he would get his well deserved justice on screen.... and thousands of viewers would stand and cheer in their homes.
I’m surprised this guy didn’t commit “Arkancide” like so many other capitol police did.
i bet he will get a book deal and there will be a movie made about his ordeal.
Lester Holt will undoubtedly give him a very softball-friendly chat and allow the murderer to strut and preen for the cameras, making himself out to be the savior of the nation and how only “racists” think otherwise.
January 6 was as fictional an insurrection as as the worst Star Trek movie made.
We have known who the guy was since the first week. The press has just been instructed not to say his name.
And the spin continues...
Lester will do his best to turn this guy into a martyr and hero. Not enough barf bags available to get me to watch this crap
hang the bass turd.
I’ll bet the interview will be done via Zoom.
I’d be very surprised if the guy turns up in the News Studio, talking with Lester face to face.
This criminal murder is so well known to most conservatives, an ‘unbalanced’ individual may try to figure out which TV studio the interview is being done in, so he can ‘have a word or two’ with the shooter later on.
We already know who the murderer is.
i bet he will get a book deal and there will be a movie made about his ordeal.
And an MSNBC gig.
Ashli was unarmed, displayed no violent behavior and was exercising her 1st Amendment right. For that she was murdered in ambush by a Capital police officer.
only in a leftist mind is stopping rioters from burning down a downtown an over reaction, but shooting an unarmed woman climbing through a window during a selfie protest justified!
The threats he received. Just wait till after the interview. I donβt think the media can spin this one. I guess they will try. Anyone else think this is a distraction from other things.
