Department of Justice Closes Investigation into the Death of Ashli Babbitt
WASHINGTON – The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia and the Civil Rights Division of the U.S. Department of Justice will not pursue criminal charges against the U.S. Capitol Police officer involved in the fatal shooting of 35-year-old Ashli Babbitt, the Office announced today.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia’s Public Corruption and Civil Rights Section and the Civil Rights Division, with the Metropolitan Police Department’s Internal Affairs Division (IAD), conducted a thorough investigation of Ms. Babbitt’s shooting. Officials examined video footage posted on social media, statements from the officer involved and other officers and witnesses to the events, physical evidence from the scene of the shooting, and the results of an autopsy. Based on that investigation, officials determined that there is insufficient evidence to support a criminal prosecution. Officials from IAD informed a representative of Ms. Babbitt’s family today of this determination.
The investigation determined that, on January 6, 2021, Ms. Babbitt joined a crowd of people that gathered on the U.S. Capitol grounds to protest the results of the 2020 presidential election. Inside the Capitol building, a Joint Session of Congress, convened to certify the results of the Electoral College vote, was underway. Members of the crowd outside the building, which was closed to the public during the Joint Session, eventually forced their way into the Capitol building and past U.S. Capitol Police (USCP) officers attempting to maintain order. The Joint Session was stopped, and the USCP began evacuating members of Congress.
The investigation further determined that Ms. Babbitt was among a mob of people that entered the Capitol building and gained access to a hallway outside “Speaker’s Lobby,” which leads to the Chamber of the U.S. House of Representatives. At the time, the USCP was evacuating Members from the Chamber, which the mob was trying to enter from multiple doorways. USCP officers used furniture to barricade a set of glass doors separating the hallway and Speaker’s Lobby to try and stop the mob from entering the Speaker’s Lobby and the Chamber, and three officers positioned themselves between the doors and the mob. Members of the mob attempted to break through the doors by striking them and breaking the glass with their hands, flagpoles, helmets, and other objects. Eventually, the three USCP officers positioned outside the doors were forced to evacuate. As members of the mob continued to strike the glass doors, Ms. Babbitt attempted to climb through one of the doors where glass was broken out. An officer inside the Speaker’s Lobby fired one round from his service pistol, striking Ms. Babbitt in the left shoulder, causing her to fall back from the doorway and onto the floor. A USCP emergency response team, which had begun making its way into the hallway to try and subdue the mob, administered aid to Ms. Babbitt, who was transported to Washington Hospital Center, where she succumbed to her injuries.
The focus of the criminal investigation was to determine whether federal prosecutors could prove that the officer violated any federal laws, concentrating on the possible application of 18 U.S.C. § 242, a federal criminal civil rights statute. In order to establish a violation of this statute, prosecutors must prove, beyond a reasonable doubt, that the officer acted willfully to deprive Ms. Babbitt of a right protected by the Constitution or other law, here the Fourth Amendment right not to be subjected to an unreasonable seizure. Prosecutors would have to prove not only that the officer used force that was constitutionally unreasonable, but that the officer did so “willfully,” which the Supreme Court has interpreted to mean that the officer acted with a bad purpose to disregard the law. As this requirement has been interpreted by the courts, evidence that an officer acted out of fear, mistake, panic, misperception, negligence, or even poor judgment cannot establish the high level of intent required under Section 242.
The investigation revealed no evidence to establish beyond a reasonable doubt that the officer willfully committed a violation of 18 U.S.C. § 242. Specifically, the investigation revealed no evidence to establish that, at the time the officer fired a single shot at Ms. Babbitt, the officer did not reasonably believe that it was necessary to do so in self-defense or in defense of the Members of Congress and others evacuating the House Chamber. Acknowledging the tragic loss of life and offering condolences to Ms. Babbitt’s family, the U.S. Attorney’s Office and U.S. Department of Justice have therefore closed the investigation into this matter.

I do wonder who is going to grab 45 by the p@@!y in prison🤔
Wonder hoe Joe "Burisma" Biden will respond when he is taken to task for his crimes. We shall see ..
Whack job Trump land
Floridians!
deSATANis voters
They call the cops (even though they beat them to death on Jan 6th while they try to overthrow democracy )
cause they see a guy on a BIKE wearing a silly t-shirt saying I AM ARMED
while they sit in their petrol guzzling polluting machines
sorry!
i forgot!
this is Trumpland!—–there is no such thing as harmful pollution here
They RAIL ABOUT CHILD SAFETY IN SCHOOLS—-got to protect our kids from the BLACKS hearing their full history being taught
and gotta protect our kids from hearing about TRANSGENDER and LGBT human rights——
BUT they do NOTHING to stop SUICIDAL LUNATICS accessing GUNS TO SLAUGHTER THEIR KIDS AS THEY LEARN AND PLAY IN SCHOOL
They have NO DIRT on Biden so like any LOW LIFE they say 'LET'S GO AFTER HIS KIDS AND FAMILY' instead
They are supposedly the PRO BUSINESS PARTY yet they BOYCOTT any business that questions their NARROW SYCOPHANTIC WORLD VIEW
HOORAY!
let's BOYCOTT BUD LIGHT cause BUD LIGHT creates MANY JOBS IN AMERICA —–
HOORAY! lets BOYCOTT them
HOORAY! LOOK AT US CREATE UNEMPLOYMENT NOW
They are anti abortion yet their representatives pay women secretly to have abortions (hello Herschel)
They stand for family values but their LEADER CHEATS ON HIS WIFE WITH A PORNSTAR while his newly born baby is nursed at home, and is convicted of SEXUAL ASSAULT in his home town
so if Donald Trump does not do what the Judge says do you know what i would do if i was in her place i say THROW HIM IN JAIL,
I love the way the American Propaganda machines keep their war against President Trump the main focus. The fact that he says the 2020 election was stolen is the unpardonable sin according to them, when there's 12 minutes of Democrats crying that the election they just lost was STOLEN! Al Gore, Hellary Clinton, Stacy Abrams,etc.. but that's ok with our DOJ and our lowlife lying media. The good thing about all this lying Bull 💩, is that it helps keep the American people who still love this country and still believe in truth and honesty, who are sick and tired of how the Treasonous Leftist Socialist Marxist Socialist psychopaths are destroying this country focused on the task before us! As a Veteran I hope that other Veterans, Patriots, and Americans who are sick of what we see happening to America today will stand up and do all we can to put this country back on track by promoting and voting for President Trump in 2024!! Thanks to our lying Propaganda machines for keeping President Trump front and center, because I sure intend to do the same!!
Trump is just another strain of the coronavirus no wonder why he tried to denounce it lol
It seems to me trouble just finds trump. Hes had so many legal problems over the years. Racist business practices included. He's lost his dads money and hes not a good business person as 6 bankruptcies so deliriously reflect. He LOST money from a casino he owned. How bad do you have to be in business when you cant make money at a casino??? He's a rapist, paid hush money to a porn star, admits groping strange women without their permission. Told people to ingest bleach for covid. Told us that stealth fighter jets are literally invisible (geez he is a moron), stole top secret documents and refused to return them. I mean the list goes on. How depraved of a human being are you if you support him. And the religious right loves him, which is further proof that they're all hypocrits

ITS OK IF THE DEMS SAY IT. https://youtu.be/XX2Ejqjz6TA
what's his answer?
I am being crucified for your sins! “Don Dump”
Trump is going to milk these indictments knowing even if found guilty by woke police, it wouldn't be possible to mix him with the prison population as he is secret service lifetime protected and the very worst that could happen would be home confinement at Mara lago . Poor Dems will never see Trump in a prison uniform.
And it all goes away when he's in office soon 😂😂
Anything yet on this?
trump is garbage, his supporters are garbage. Weak, whiny and incredibly stupid !
YOU GO AFTER CHUBBY, CHUBBY WILL GO AFTER YOU.
Can not wait for that orange clown to get what he deserves- Jail 2024 until death do us part-
F*** you Trump 2024 you're not going to get him people are sick and tired of your b***** media and Washington's lies
I wouldn't let Pence anywhere near a witness stand. I don't remember him ever saying anything against lies being simply "alternate facts".
They're All alike.
This isn't justice. We, the people, need to go back to DC and take it back. Jan 6 was just a small preview of what we can do. Remember, we didn't bring out 2nd Amendment
That judge needs to be taken out
GOD and TRUMP ——-> They Got This
Can you imagine trying to overthrow a corrupt government, YES, the British sure can… and lost.
pence is a damm trstior. I wouldn't vote for this pansy for nothing.
Trump wouldn't be indicted if B|den wasn't a criminal.
I think trumps lawyers should be disbarred asap, that why trump wants to fight if his stupid lawyers do not know the law then disbarred them!!!
