"Ashli Babbitt's Family Sues U.S. Government for $30M in Wrongful Death Claim"

The family of Ashli Babbitt, who was killed during the January 6 Capitol riot, has filed a $30 million wrongful death lawsuit against the U.S. government, claiming she was "ambushed" by a Capitol Police officer without warning. The officer, Lt. Michael Byrd, who shot Babbitt as she tried to climb through a barricaded door, was cleared of criminal charges by the DOJ and faced no internal discipline. The lawsuit argues Babbitt was unarmed and not a threat, while Byrd contends he shot her as a last resort to protect Congress members and officers.
