On Friday, news broke that a settlement in principle was reached in the Ashli Babbitt wrongful death lawsuit brought against the US government by the Babbitt family.
Judicial Watch brought forth this lawsuit and has represented the family for years.
The Gateway Pundit has extensively covered this lawsuit since it was filed in January 2024.
The lawsuit extensively details the history of incompetence and multiple revocations of firearm privileges for previous dangerous incidents involving Officer Michael Byrd, the Capitol Police officer who murdered Babbitt in cold blood.
This includes a failure “to meet or complete semiannual firearms qualification requirements,” leaving a “loaded Glock 22—the same firearm he used to shoot and kill Ashli Babbitt – in a bathroom in the Capitol Visitor Center,” and a shooting into a moving vehicle stolen by teenagers, where the off-duty cop reportedly struck homes nearby with his bullets.
“Lt. Byrd had a reputation among peers for not being a good shot,” the lawsuit alleges.
Now it’s time for the family to go after the legacy media outlets for slandering her an “insurectionist”. Judicial Watch did a good job with this, now it’s onto the next step.
michael byrd might qualify for a trash collector, maybe.
