I am surprised that Trumpy did not award the family BILLIONS!!



Trump has repeatedly cited Babbitt's death as part of his broader vocal support for rioters who stormed the Capitol seeking to overturn his 2020 election loss. Trump pardoned nearly all of the approximately 1,500 individuals charged in connection with the Jan. 6 attack as one of his first acts in office, in a proclamation that described the Justice Department's investigation into the riot as "a grave national injustice."

Following the pardons, Manger said in a memo to Capitol Police that the move "let violent criminals who attacked police officers off the hook" and that such criminals "should be met with consequences, condemnation and accountability."

In March, Trump said in an interview with Newsmax that he wasn't aware of the ongoing lawsuit brought by Babbitt's family but promised he would "look into" it.

"I'm a big fan of Ashli Babbitt, okay, and Ashli Babbitt was a really good person who was a big MAGA fan, Trump fan, and she was innocently standing there -- they even say, trying to sort of hold back the crowd," Trump said. "And a man did something unthinkable to her when he shot her, and I think it's a disgrace. I'm going to look into that; I did not know that."
