The Trump administration will be paying nearly $5 million to the family of Ashli Babbitt, who was fatally shot while trying to enter the House Speaker’s lobby on Jan. 6, 2021.
The Babbitt family’s attorneys—among them the conservative group Judicial Watch—will see about one-third of the settlement amount regarding the wrongful death lawsuit, according to The Washington Post.
The family initially sought $30 million when filing the suit in January. Earlier this month, the two sides agreed in principle to a settlement.
