may 2 2025 The Trump administration has agreed to settle a
lawsuit brought by the family of Ashli Babbitt, a Trump supporter who was killed when she tried to storm the House Speaker's lobby during the
Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the Capitol, according to media reports.
Babbitt's family filed the lawsuit in early 2024, seeking $30 million for her death. Financial details of the settlement weren't revealed at a Friday hearing in a D.C. federal court, according to
CBS News and
Washington Post reports.
U.S. Capitol Police Lt. Michael Byrd shot and killed 35-year-old Babbitt as members of Congress were still in the lobby after Trump supporters violently stormed the Capitol to try to stop congressional certification of
Joe Biden's 2020 election victory.
