President Trump Says He’ll Review Ashli Babbitt Case, Possible Settlement

[Conservative Angle]

​

President Trump says he’s open to reviewing a possible settlement with the family of Ashli Babbitt, who was fatally shot on January 6.

He also questioned why the officer who pulled the trigger still has a job.

Trump called Babbitt a “really good person” and hinted the DOJ may need a reality check.

When Newsmax said the feds are still fighting the case, Trump replied, “You’re telling me that for the first time.”

And so the question remains, why are the feds fighting the case?

Ashli Babbit will now get justice. I said the shoot looked bad years ago, but the Dems held this capital police officer up as a hero, rather than accountable.

Independent reports:

President Donald Trump has pledged to take a “look into” whether the government should reach a settlement with the family of Ashli Babbit and also into the continued employment of the police officer who shot her dead on January 6.

The president has repeatedly praised his supporters who attempted to overturn his 2020 election loss to former President Joe Biden, including Babbitt. The 35-year-old U.S. Air Force veteran, who sported a Trump flag as a cape, was fatally shot while climbing through a broken door barricaded by officers as they attempted to evacuate dozens of Congress members.

Last January, Babbitt’s family filed a $30 million wrongful death suit against the U.S. government.

Trump, who in January granted clemency to 1,500 supporters charged with crimes connected to the January 6, 2021 attack, told Newsmax’s Greg Kelly on Tuesday that he will examine whether the Department of Justice should settle the case.

Kelly pressed the president on the issue, telling Trump that the government is “still kind of fighting that case” and that the DOJ “is opposing that lawsuit.”

“You’re telling me that for the first time. I haven’t heard that,” Trump responded.

“I’m a big fan of Ashli Babbitt, okay, and Ashli Babbitt was a really good person who was a big MAGA fan, Trump fan, and she was innocently standing there – they even say, trying to sort of hold back the crowd.”

“And a man did something unthinkable to her when he shot her, and I think it’s a disgrace. I’m going to look into that; I did not know that,” he added.

Kelly then probed about Michael Byrd, the U.S. Capitol Police lieutenant who shot Babbitt, who is still on duty and promoted to Captain in 2023. The Justice Department announced in April 2021 that it would not pursue criminal charges against Byrd after determining that the shooting was lawful.

“I think it’s a disgrace,” Trump, who was endorsed by the largest police union in the U.S. last year, said. “I’m going to look at that too. His reputation was – I won’t even say. Let’s find out about his reputation, okay? We’re going to find out.”

Ashli Babbit, a 14-year veteran, served 4 tours with the US Air Force, was a high level security official throughout her time in service.

Alas, liberals are still dumb and heartless:

Ashli Babbit was a piece of s**t.
