The Trump administration has reached a preliminary settlement with the family of Ashli Babbitt, one of the rioters at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.
The attorneys for Babbitt’s family said they have reached an agreement in principle on Friday, according to various reports. The settlement was revealed during a hearing after a former attorney for Babbitt’s family said in a filing that he received a call Thursday from a journalist about claims a settlement had been reached.
Details about the settlement in principle were not disclosed. Babbitt was shot and killed by Capitol Police during the riot after she allegedly tried to make her way through a smashed window in the building. Her family alleges she posed no threat and sued the government for $30 million. The initial trial date was set for July 20.
