"Settlement Reached: Trump Administration to Pay $5 Million in Ashli Babbitt Wrongful Death Lawsuit"

[!CDATA[The Trump administration has agreed to pay nearly $5 million to settle a lawsuit brought by the family of Ashli Babbitt, a Trump supporter who was fatally shot by police at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. Babbitt's family initially sought $30 million in damages when they filed a wrongful death lawsuit in early 2024. Earlier this month, it was reported that a settlement in principle had been reached between the Trump administration and Babbitt's family. Babbitt, an Air Force veteran, was shot while attempting to climb through a broken window into the Speaker's Lobby during the Capitol breach. Her death became a symbol for Trump supporters and was frequently referenced by the president during his reelection campaign.]]
