Justice signals settlement in $30M Ashli Babbitt ‘wrongful death’ suit

After months of fighting the suit brought by the husband of the retired Air Force veteran shot dead by a United States Capitol Police officer as she entered the Speaker’s Lobby off the House floor, Justice changed its tune last month, according to a new court filing.
