President Donald Trump has pledged to take a “look into” whether the government should reach a settlement with the family of Ashli Babbit and also into the continued employment of the police officer who shot her dead on January 6.
The president has repeatedly praised his supporters who attempted to overturn his 2020 election loss to former President Joe Biden, including Babbitt. The 35-year-old U.S. Air Force veteran, who sported a Trump flag as a cape, was fatally shot while climbing through a broken door barricaded by officers as they attempted to evacuate dozens of Congress members.
