Ashli Babbitt’s family will receive nearly $5 million after a trigger-happy Capitol Hill police officer killed her. The media is upset because she went into the Capitol with rioters that day. What they don’t realize is that you still can’t murder unarmed people who present no threat.
President Donald Trump’s administration has agreed to pay nearly $5 million to the family of Ashli Babbitt to settle a lawsuit brought by the estate of the Trump supporter who was fatally shot by police when she tried to crawl through a broken glass door in the Capitol.
The officer shot her although she was no threat.
Babbitt’s family filed the wrongful death lawsuit in early 2024, seeking $30 million. Lawyers for both sides told a judge this month that they had settled in principle, reversing the Justice Department’s earlier opposition in the case, which had been set for trial in July 2026.
The information is based on The Washington Post’s sources.
Judicial Watch took up the lawsuit and will receive some of the money.

$5 million is not enough. She should collect $100 million at least and also take every asset Ashley’s murderer has ever, or will ever, accumulate. And put the stupid, ugly and incompetent Michael Byrd in jail where he belongs.
Fentanyl Floyd died of a drug overdose while resisting arrest and his family got 20 million.
The shooter, Michael Byrd, who happens to be black, already had a shady record, which included a “rip” for leaving his loaded weapon in a Capitol restroom. They should never have given his gun back.
Now lets see the capitol police officer bastard that murdered her in cold blood in prison for life.
And guess who PAYS that $5 Million.
