Almost three years following the demonstrations on January 6, 2021, Judicial Watch initiated a $30 million wrongful death lawsuit against the federal government due to the Capitol Police’s shooting of Air Force veteran Ashli Babbitt.
According to The Washington Examiner, the lawsuit was filed on behalf of Babbitt’s estate and her husband, Aaron Babbitt.
It asserts that the officer who fired the fatal shot was “incompetent” and “dangerous,” and should have realized that Babbitt did not pose a threat to Congress when she entered the House speaker’s lobby.
Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton shared on X at the time, “We just filed an important lawsuit. A $30 million dollar wrongful death action against the United States government on behalf of Ashli Babbitt’s husband and her estate. Ashli Babbit was killed for no good reason that day. Shot and killed by Lt. Michael Byrd.”
“Judicial Watch is seeking accountability from the United States government, that is responsible for that awful and unjustified shooting death.”
“Remember, the only homicide on January 6 was the unlawful shooting death, as our lawsuit alleges, of poor Ashli Babbitt. She deserves justice. She deserves accountability. And I tell you, Judicial Watch, and I know all of our supporters, are honored to be able to pursue this lawsuit to get justice for Ashli.”

According to the suit, “Ashli remained conscious for minutes or longer after being shot by Lt. Byrd. Ashli experienced extreme pain, suffering, mental anguish, and intense fear before slipping into pre-terminal unconsciousness. The autopsy report identified the cause of death as a ‘gunshot wound to left anterior shoulder’ with an onset interval of ‘minutes.’ The fact that Ashli was alive and conscious in extreme pain and suffering is documented in videos of the shooting. Furthermore, nothing about the wound track described in the autopsy report would be expected to result in immediate death or instantaneous loss of consciousness, and Ashli’s lungs contained blood, further confirming that she was alive and breathing after being shot. Ashli was pronounced dead at Washington Hospital Center at 3:15 p.m. The medical examiner determined that the manner of death was homicide.”
In April, Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton warned his audience that the Biden DOJ was trying to “forum shop” the Ashli Babbitt filing in order to rig the lawsuit by her family over her homicide in the US Capitol.
Tom told his audience, “The request for a change in venue is clearly influenced by Defendant’s strongest motivation for changing venue, which is to select the forum where it feels it would receive a favorable process and outcome based on adversity against January 6 participants. By its motion, Defendant hopes to unfairly and unjustly connect Ashli Babbitt to violence, injuries, and deaths for which she is blameless and connect her by association to thousands of individuals convicted of misdemeanors and felonies for which she was never charged and is unable to present a defense due to the lawless actions of one of Defendant’s employees in shooting and killing her.”
Tom Fitton announced on Monday that the Department of Justice successfully transferred the Ashli Babbitt case from her San Diego home district to the liberal Washington DC district. The case has been assigned to Judge Jia Cobb, an attorney appointed by President Joe Biden.
This seems to keep happening in America today.

This murder is owned by Pelosi and her c o planners.Period!
police officer that killed Ashli Babbit should have been arrested , I watched on tv the whole j6 incident ( it was Not an insurrection) All you Democrats Lie ALL the time …
All true Renee! That crooked evil cop is a cold-blooded murderer and should be executed!
And isn’t it a disgrace that trespassers are serving prison time, while the DA completely ignores cold blooded murder of young Ashly!
Yes Ron; but the Democrat Commie Leftist Regime can get away with Gestapo Tactics or even a Coup d’ etat which is really what happened during and after the 2020 election and J6 cover-up!
There was no trespass by US Citizens, as it is The People’s House. The left always accuses the right of what they themselves are doing. Think about that for a minute. Yes They, the (D’s) were the ones committing the Coup De Tat, Not the Trump supporters. It is not that they have gotten away with anything yet. We the people need to keep the pressure up in order to get Justice for the fraud perpetrated upon this Country Jan. 6th, 2020.
Rich this is true only if “We the People” make sure all those responsible are behind bars sooner rather than later! Outside of that we can kiss America goodbye because “the snake has been in our government for decades” and is biding its time “to own America as in Commie China” and the rest of the “Marxist Devils!” They already own “prime farm land” here and much of it near US Military installations! Gee what could that be all about!!! Must tie into the Hi-tech massive installation they built in Cuba recently and that balloon from China fly-by test!
WAKE-UP AMERICA FAST!
Biden, the current administration along with all RINO’s are all responsible for this and every other heinous ugly crime committed against American Citizens on that day of an American Travesty that “they set-up and even fanned the flames of!”
And I must in good conscience say that all who brought this on in the government will pay in hell with all of the evil perpetrators of the crimes then and now being committed upon innocent Patriotic US Citizens; just as though they were there at the time pulling the trigger too! “Pelosi, Schumer with other officials will suffer in hell with so many others” for eternity!
Revelation 21:8 Amplified Bible “But as for the cowards and unbelieving and abominable [who are devoid of character and personal integrity and practice or tolerate immorality], and murderers, and sorcerers [with intoxicating drugs], and idolaters and occultists [who practice and teach false religions], and all the liars [who knowingly deceive and twist truth], their part will be in the lake that blazes with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.”
I just wrote this same matter in another news service commentary, the following.
Look with your eyes wide open and see what is going on in our faces where we now have in Washington a Department of Injustice that makes sure it gets a change of venue to bring the Ashli Babbit Wrongful Death Law Suit against the Capital Police from San Diego where she and her family have resided to Washington D.C. where the jury can be rigged to brush that case aside with a not guilty verdict by the extremely partisan biased Leftist/Marxist/Democrat Jury Pool and judge Biden appointed in Washington! This the same Department of Injustice that made sure that American Citizens who legally were allowed into the Capital Congressional Buildings (Pelosi’s Set-Up) to assert their Constitutional Right to petition our government in order to protest the obviously shady 2020 Presidential Election, to then subsequently all be charged with trespassing, rioting or what was termed “A Seditious Storming of the Capital!!!” This mind you while our US Southern Border has been “Stormed” and overrun by millions of often hostile “foreign invaders” breaking our US Immigration Laws, with ZERO accountability!
Our government along with the, controlled “Pravda Style Main Stream Media Manipulators,” have elevated a low-life drug selling criminal named George Floyd up onto a pedestal making him some kind of ionic folk hero! Painting him as a victim that didn’t cause his own demise by being cranked up on drugs and refusing to cooperate with police, and having caused so much trouble breaking the law as evidenced by his long rap sheet over the years! While Ashli Babbitt a three tour honorably retired United States Air Force Veteran, who was an excellent mother and wife that was actually executed or murdered at the US Capital by a Capital Police Officer Michael Byrd, when on J6 he shot this unarmed woman at point blank range in the chest/left shoulder region causing her to die slowly while suffocating gasping for air and her lungs basically choking on her own blood, which by witness accounts tending to her immediately upon being shot, testified to her being in a state of great fear and shock lying there on the floor suffering horribly! And this Evil Department of Injustice is now rigging the upcoming jury trial court case filed against the Capital Police by Judicial Watch and her family, in order to crush the lawsuit and Ashli’s family’s right to a “fair wrongful death/murder trial” just like they did with all of the J6 protester defendants! This is absolute evil at work in our government and across the land as a whole, while “evil is perpetrated and fostered” and “True Justice” is completely “kicked to the curb!”
America is not America anymore, but is rather an extremely sinful place where filthy rotten pornography stars are also given a green light to carry on as sinful “perpetrators of immorality” and vile conduct to feed the masses in porn films! This too while marijuana and all manner of disrespect or public vulgarity propagate, what my wise old grandmother used to tell me, is “how so many people have no shame,” to where we see (drag queen story time for grade school children) that these things are now also legalized in America proving that something Billy Graham said not many years ago, has absolutely manifested, and I say it’s the sign that America is finished as “a good great nation under God,” but is rather under Satan right now! If most people would wake up and turn from sin this could possibly be turned around.
I too believe Ashli was unjustly killed. But let’s admit it, the crime occurred in DC, not San Diego.
I saw the video of the shooting that was posted online and stayed up a short time. It clearly showed Lt. Michael Byrd advance on Ashli from his hiding position, as she squatted in the broken window, and when he was less than 10 feet from her Byrd took aim and without a warning shot her. Ashli was not a threat and yet she was brutally murdered.
Namer; yes Byrd is a coward and quite sinister evil creature of a man whom I believe will spend eternity in hell; there is absolutely no justification for what he did to that fine woman and veteran! His life will be a living hell and he will want to die, I see it coming; he is traitor and a most cowardly sorry ass excuse of a man, a Judas!
Namer; I too saw the video and several times and you’re correct it was a cold blooded assassination making Byrd nothing less than a cold blooded assassin for which he should in the least be rotting behind bars for the rest of his life; but in this upside-down and insane system of Injustice he was a hero!
This is not America anymore!
Also a Hate Crime by a Racist !!
The only disturbances, insurrection and crimes committed at the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C, on Wednesday, Jan. 6, 2021 were planned, staged and carried out by the seditious DNC/FBI/SS/ATF/DC Capitol Police/ANTIFA crisis actors.
…like FBI plant Ray Epps!
Absolutely correct! But now I mournfully want to add my latest thought on the matter of Biden still saying he will continue his quest for a second Biden & (Obama) term which speaks to this story also! This is so screwed and we all need to wake up fast if we don’t see what’s happening by now!
Just think of where we are as Americans in this once great nation under God; that’s become more of a heathen, materialistic and secular empire over time to where we now see this absolute insanity at the highest level of our government playing out in our faces day after day! (Like the fall of the Roman Empire on steroids) This all points out clearly how the Left and Commies having free rein over several decades has led to total incompetents’ and psychopaths making life and death decisions for the masses on a daily basis that could quite easily lead to complete and utter destruction of the planet!
My point in conclusion is; if you can’t see that this is all work of Satan then you have been on the wrong side and better get your hind end in gear and turn to God Almighty in the name of Jesus right now on bent knees, asking for His intervention sooner rather than later! Depending on a man-made system or a person to lead us to safety or salvation is a waste of time! Too far gone for too long!
God bless you.
It is past time for JUSTICE to be DONE!!!!!
Well put! All we see is these losers and even Biden’s wicked power hungry wife scampering to continue the ruin that the Leftist Commie Democrats have done to this nation as if that would be just fine and dandy!
The above comments are spot-on and I just wanted to add the following.
Biden hasn’t done one thing that helped our Nation or “We the People,” nothing!
All he’s done for the last half a century is run a backdoor organized crime syndicate within our nation, enriching himself, the Biden clan and their cronies here and abroad!
American taxpayers are being forced to pay taxes for Communist democrat controls. ONLY the mentally challenged do not admit it !!!!!!
That’s true!
The biden DofJ is the most crooked of any administration in any administration. The entire totality of the supervision of the current DohJ must be in prison for a very long time. I pray Trump puts them exactly where they belong. They have destroyed this country’s belief in justice. They have only prosecuted Conservastives and allowed real crooks like the biden cartel to skate free on every issue. The Doh J is a total joke when justice is discussed.
Quite true!
It is a shame that any Capital Police went home with any bullets. I would have told them to empty all their clips.
That would have been quite fitting and appropriate Chuck! How could they be sure about what could have gone wrong after that day the Democrat Commies brought upon America? Because they knew full well it was the inside plan that Pelosi and the Deep State planned anyway!
I agree with you that it would have been quite fitting. It should have taken them months to scrub all the traitor blood off the Capital steeps. Now I would have stacked their worthless bodies like cords of wood to bake in the sun like Mussolini and his fascist mistress except that would just be mean spirited.
