J6er Ashli Babbitt Estate To Get A Nice Chunk Of Taxpayer Dollars [View all]

The woman shot and killed for trying to break into the Capitol during the Jan. 6 insurrection has been turned into a MAGA martyr.

By NewsHound Ellen — May 3, 2025

A settlement has been reached in the $30 million civil suit filed by Ashli Babbitt’s estate. The amount is unknown but you can bet it will be at least a million.

You may recall that on January 6, 2021, insurrectionist Ashli Babbitt died after she tried to enter the Capitol through a broken window in the middle of the violence.
From CBS News:

In a 2024 court filing, the [Department of Justice] argued, "Ms. Babbitt unlawfully entered the Capitol. She made her way to the east doors of the Speaker's Lobby situated immediately behind the Chamber of the U.S. House of Representatives, the site of Joint Sessions of Congress. Although officers had barricaded the Speaker's Lobby doors with heavy furniture, demonstrators broke through the glass panels of the lobby doors and matching windows (called "sidelights&quot on either side of the doors."
