Fmr. Pres. Trump suggested the U.S. Capitol Police officer who shot Ashli Babbitt during the Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol was the 'head of security' for a 'high-ranking' Democratic member of Congress. That is false, senior law enforcement official says.

That is false, according to a senior law enforcement official briefed on the matter.

The official said the officer who shot Babbitt, 35, was not a member of a security detail provided to a specific member of Congress, adding that the officer has not yet returned to duty."Who shot Ashli Babbitt? People want to know and why," Trump said."I will tell you they know who shot Ashli Babbitt. They're protecting that person," he replied.

Bartiromo later said:"I want you to know that my team reached out to Sen. Chuck Schumer's office to check on what he may know about who shot Ashli Babbitt. We have not heard back from Chuck Schumer's office."Schumer's office did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

He was on detail for pence. How is that untrue?

I’m so glad they killed that terrorist.

Lies lies and more lies

He knows its false. He also knows his base will run with it without a single second thought.

More outright Lies from the Former resident of the White House! What Else is New!!!?

He is putting a target on cops, by politicizing cops with Trumps supposed enemy list. He is endangering cops lives; while threatening them to fall in line, or pay the consequences of his militia.

No wonder the orange baby was removed from all social media platforms. Why doesn’t he create his own like he said?

What an embarrassing reason to die. For The Big Lie.

if y'all are sitting up here listening to anything Trump says something is wrong with you we should laugh at any and everything this man says

I don't even know why we having this conversation about this officer she did her job

The man is insane. How miserable is his life that he traps himself in an a world where all that matters to him is his perceived victimization. He must be completely ostracized from civil society.

He shouldn't have encouraged them to act like terrorists

Nobody believes your reporting on “anything”

Shocker.

He did not show that much interest in the Kenosha murders.

Who gives a shit.. more horrible reporting

I read he was SenSchumer body guard

Who cares what he says. He’s spreading more lies to flip the truth that she died because of him.

Police shoot the terrorists - I've never heard of cops deciding not to shoot over getting into hand to hand combat. And perpetrated by the 'pro-police' /'Blue Lives Matter' set.

Judge eyes sanctions on pro-Trump lawyers who claimed voter fraudWASHINGTON (Reuters) -A U.S. judge on Monday appeared likely to reprimand Sidney Powell, a former campaign lawyer for Donald Trump, and other attorneys over a lawsuit they filed in Michigan seeking to overturn Democratic President Joe Biden's election victory. U.S. District Judge Linda Parker in Detroit suggested the pro-Trump lawyers should have investigated the Republican former president's voter fraud claims more carefully before suing. Parker held the hearing to determine whether Powell, Lin Wood and other pro-Trump lawyers should be disciplined for a lawsuit they filed last November that made baseless claims of widespread voter fraud in the U.S. presidential election in Michigan.

Trump was willing to do whatever necessary to stay in WH, says author'We all know how chaotic this administration was and how chaotic this president was. What I was struck [by], in the reporting of this book...is how dangerous the people closest to Trump thought he was for the country,' Michael C. Bender says of new book. America first, not DTrump seems rising? Border crisis & crime are out of control leading the Biden Administration back to Trump Admin policies. Afghanistan withdrawal is another example. Also, the success of the C19 vaccines is a win for Trump style of governance. Cuba? 2022. Yet their loyalty was to djt instead of the constitution. It's as if this country has forgotten that the constitution comes first than a president.
