FBI files requested by Judicial Watch on the death of Ashli Babbitt have revealed that the bureau considered classifying her as a terrorist after she was shot and killed by Capitol Police on January 6th.
The information emerged from 62 redacted documents obtained by Judicial Watch through a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request.
“It is beyond belief that the Biden FBI gave Ashli Babbitt’s killer a free pass while engaging in a malicious months-long ‘criminal’ investigation of Babbitt herself,” Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton stated.
The watchdog group is pursuing a $30 million wrongful death suit on behalf of Babbitt’s family. In a court filing last week, it was revealed that the Biden DOJ is trying to move the case from California to Washington, D.C. in hopes of having a judge and jury that would be more sympathetic to prosecutors.
Judicial Watch argued that a courtroom in the Capitol would be a “hostile forum” given the subject matter of the case.
