A cardiothoracic anesthesiologist is facing federal charges in relation to the January 6 attack on the US Capitol after he was seen on social media footage “kneeling beside the woman shot inside,” an unsealed federal complaint states.
The legal filing, made public on Tuesday, was seemingly referencing Air Force veteran Ashli Babbitt who was shot by police and died of her injuries. She was shot by a Capitol Police lieutenant attempting to stop the rioters from getting through a door on the way to the lobby of the chamber of the House of Representatives.
