CIVIL UNREST/DOJ/QANON: “Former president Donald Trump praised the woman who was shot and killed during the January 6 riot at the Capitol as a ‘truly incredible person’ in a video message played at a memorial event on what would have been the 36-year-old’s birthday.

Trump issued a message of support for Ashli Babbitt, an Air Force veteran and advocate of the QAnon conspiracy theory, while calling for the Department of Justice to reopen an investigation into her shooting by Capitol police officer Michael Byrd…

In April, the DoJ confirmed they would not be pursuing criminal charges against Byrd over the shooting on Babbitt as rioters attempted to break through a glass door separating a hallway from the Speaker’s Lobby and Chamber.”
