Ashli Babbitt’s family to get nearly $5M in government settlement: Reports
The Hill ^ | 5/19/25 | Jeremy Tanner

Posted on 05/19/2025 4:12:52 PM PDT by CFW

– The U.S. government has agreed to pay nearly $5 million to the family of Ashli Babbitt, the Jan. 6 rioter who was fatally shot by police during the 2021 attack on the Capitol, according to multiple reports on Monday.

The Washington Post first reported the settlement, citing two people “briefed on the matter” who said the Trump administration has agreed to it, with roughly one-third of the money going to the lawyers representing Babbitt’s family.

Tom Manger, the outgoing U.S. Capitol Police chief, confirmed the settlement news to CBS, adding that he told the police force he was “extremely disappointed” and that he disagreed with the Department of Justice’s decision.

The settlement follows a $30 million lawsuit Babbitt’s family filed last year.The Babbitt family’s lawyers and the Justice Department did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The Hill also requested comment from a former lawyer for the Babbitt family, who intervened in the case to be paid for past work.

Put the trigger happy filth who murdered her in prison for life and I’ll feel slightly better.

Can the legitimate US government sue the DNC for impersonating it?

So when will the cowardly cop that shot her, serve time in prison? She did not deserve to die because of the jerk cop who couldn’t figure out how to handle an unarmed woman while behind a locked door and in no immediate danger.

That’s a good start.

The agent who murdered unarmed Ashley Babbitt needs to be held accountable - fired and brought up on charges of 1st or 2nd degree murder.

The Democrat’s J6 trigger man, Capital Hill Police officer Michael Byrd, did not get a Presidential pardon from Biden’s auto pin. He needs to be indicted and arrested for the murder of Ashly Babbitt. Hey Bondi, are you looking the other way on this government atrocity too or are you going to do your job for a change? Please do your job because no one is above the law, not even a deep state puke or their hitman.

Should be a billion plus 5 million. The billion going to groups like Judicial Watch. That’s how the rats do it.

The government is us, you know the productive ones who actually pay nearly all federal taxes. WE ARE PAYING OUT $5M. It is a good cause, but justice would be to see it come out of the pocket of the one that murdered her, and also to see him be charged criminally.
