A federal judge has ordered Democrat President Joe Bidens Department of Justice (DOJ) to respond to wrongful death charges from the family of Ashli Babbitt.
Babbitt is the 35-year-old Air Force Veteran who was shot dead by a Capitol Police officer on January 6th, 2021.
Judge Ana Reyes, a Biden appointee, gave the DOJ until September 6 to answer charges of assault and battery, negligence, and wrongful death in the $30 million case.
The officer who killed Babbitt, Michael Byrd, was not charged by the DOJ.
Byrd has faced no disciplinary action from Capitol Police.
