=================================================================================
The Department of Justice has agreed to a settlement in principle with the family of Ashli Babbitt, the Air Force veteran fatally shot by Capitol Police Lt. Michael Byrd during the January 6, 2021, protest at the U.S. Capitol. Filed by Judicial Watch on behalf of Babbitt’s husband and estate, the wrongful death lawsuit originally sought \$30 million, arguing that Babbitt’s shooting was an unjustified use of deadly force. The settlement, which is expected to be finalized in the coming weeks, would likely avoid a jury trial that had been scheduled for July 2026.
Babbitt was shot while attempting to climb through a broken window into the Speaker’s Lobby, an area blocked off as lawmakers were being evacuated. While Byrd was cleared of wrongdoing by internal investigations, the lawsuit insisted Babbitt posed no lethal threat, had her hands visible, and was unjustly gunned down without warning. Witnesses shouted that she had been “murdered” at the scene. The lawsuit alleges her death was both preventable and politically mishandled.
This settlement comes amid a broader reevaluation of how January 6 defendants and fatalities are being treated, particularly under renewed scrutiny since Trump’s return to political prominence. Trump has repeatedly referred to Babbitt as a martyr and has strongly condemned the lack of accountability in her case. The DOJ’s decision to settle, rather than battle the claims in court, is viewed by many as a rare acknowledgment of wrongdoing or at least a move to avoid further exposure and public backlash.
The case remains a lightning rod in the cultural and political divide surrounding January 6. For many, Babbitt’s death epitomizes government overreach and the silencing of dissent. The settlement will likely fuel further debate over justice, transparency, and who is truly held accountable in America.
