"Ashli Babbitt's Widower and Conservative Group Sue U.S. Government for Wrongful Death"

The estate and husband of Ashli Babbitt, who was killed during the January 6 Capitol riot, have filed a $30 million wrongful death lawsuit against the U.S. government, represented by Judicial Watch. The suit alleges that Capitol Police Lt. Michael Byrd was negligent in shooting Babbitt as she tried to enter the House chamber. Babbitt, an Air Force veteran and Trump supporter, has been portrayed as a martyr by some conservatives. Byrd, who was cleared in an internal investigation, claimed his actions were necessary to protect lawmakers.
