WASHINGTON – The husband of Ashli Babbitt – the Trump supporter shot and killed by police inside the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 – is suing for release of the officer’s name as well as other information about the killing and resulting investigations.
Those investigations resulted in no charges against the U.S. Capitol Police officer who fatally shot Babbitt during the Jan. 6 riot. The officer’s name has also been withheld by U.S. government and D.C. officials.
Aaron Babbitt has filed a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit in Washington D.C. seeking release of information about police investigations into the shooting as well as “documents that identify the officer or person who shot Ashli Babbitt in the incident”, according to court documents.
The lawsuit contends that the D.C.’s Metropolitan Police Department has not turned over those documents and details via a FOIA request submitted in April.
Babbitt, 35, was a Trump supporter who came to Washington for a rally for the former president outside the White House.
She was also among the Trump backers who converged and stormed the U.S. Capitol while Congress was certifying President Joe Biden’s contentious 2020 election win. She was shot inside the Capitol.
Aaron Babbitt has also filed a wrongful death lawsuit related to the police shooting.
GOPUSA Editor’s Note: In the Tucker Carlson video an incident involving a Capitol police officer leaving his weapon in a restroom is discussed. In light of that conversation this 2019 article concerning previous incidents is interesting. We do not know if any of these incidents are related to the officer who shot Babbitt.
Capitol Police weapon left unattended in Capitol bathroom, again.
The FBI and D.C. Police have arrested a number of Jan. 6 rioters with many of them being held in jail without bail.

You have to just know he was part of Schumer’s personal body guard with instructions to defend him to the death,,,,other people’s death of course. We have yet to see the other sid’es video’s, as in Body Cams. Rumer has it Schumer was within 40 feet of the incident. Unconfiemed sources of course which are probably more reliable than the normal ones the media uses to create narratives of attack and cover others up when thier guys might get exposed. The ones being held without bail are the ones who know the truth and saw the crime against Babbit. When Kennedy was shot we all knew the name of Oswald within hours,,,,why the delay here? Pehaps the shooter knows where some of the Democrat bodies and crimes are buried as well and has threatened to expose them if not protected?
I HIGHLY DOUBT he had a body cam.. Hell, if there was any body cam footage, it’s more likely already been DELETED…
What a coverup by the Capitol police, the FBI and the Department of No Justice. How was an unarmed woman a threat? That officer should be in prison.
If the officer took out an identifiable Trump supporter, then cqan you say, COVERUP?
HELL YES.. ANd its not a conspiracy theory TO SAY so!
Her husband has the right to know, the public has the right to know. We saw the video. There was no risk to the shooter. Moments prior to the shooting people were walking through the corridor as if nothing was going on. There was no threat, no ‘stop or I’ll shoot’, no warning of any kind and an unarmed woman was shot. Answers need to be had.
You can BET your last dollar, had it been a white cop, who shot a black rioter, WE WOULD ALREADY KNOW who he was, and he’d likely already be on TRIAL for murder.
