The Trump administration has agreed to pay nearly $5 million to the family of Ashli Babbitt, the woman who was shot and killed by police during the January 6th Capitol riot. The settlement comes after her family pursued legal action, though the details of the agreement haven’t been fully disclosed.
Editor’s Note: This story is bound to stir up strong reactions—supporters of Babbitt may see it as overdue justice, while critics will likely view it as a troubling precedent, rewarding someone who participated in an attack on democracy. Either way, it keeps the January 6th aftermath in the headlines and raises questions about accountability and how governments handle such cases.
