"Ashli Babbitt's Family Seeks $30M in Wrongful Death Suit Against U.S. Government for Jan. 6 Shooting"

The family of Ashli Babbitt, who was killed during the January 6 Capitol riot, has filed a $30 million lawsuit against the U.S. government for negligence and wrongful death. Babbitt was shot by U.S. Capitol Police Lt. Michael Byrd as she attempted to climb through a barricaded door. Despite an internal review clearing Byrd of wrongdoing, the lawsuit claims Babbitt was unarmed and posed no threat. The Justice Department previously declined to charge Byrd, citing insufficient evidence.
