‘Unthinkable’: Trump Vows To ‘Look Into’ DOJ’s Opposition To Ashli Babbitt Lawsuit (Video)
President tells interviewer, 'You're just telling me that for the first time'
In an interview Tuesday, President Trump vowed to look into the fact the U.S. Justice Department is still officially opposing the $30 million wrongful-death lawsuit brought by the Aaron Babbitt, the husband of Ashli Babbitt, the woman shot and killed by a Capitol Police officer Jan. 6, 2021.
Speaking to Greg Kelly of Newsmax, Trump said he also plans to look into Capitol Police Lt. Michael Byrd, the man who gunned down Babbitt outside the House Speaker’s Lobby, and the government’s treatment and remuneration of the officer.
“I am a big fan of Ashli Babbitt, and Ashli Babbitt was a really good person,” Trump told Kelly. “She was innocently standing there … and a man did something to her that was unthinkable when he shot her, and I think it’s a disgrace. I am going to look into that.”
Kelly mentioned the DOJ’s opposition to the 2024 lawsuit, to which Trump responded, “You’re just telling me that for the first time. I haven’t heard that.”
Will this presidential election be the most important in American history?
