Settlement to pay nearly 5 million to Ashli Babbitt family
The Justice Department and the Babbitt estate reach an in principle deal to settle a wrongful death suit over the Jan 6 Capitol riot. The pay amount is just under 5 million with about a third to lawyers, including Judicial Watch figures, and a separate path for prior attorney fees remains under review. The case has drawn political commentary as Congress and Trump allies frame the events differently.

It requires platforms to remove such material within 48 hours of notice, raises First Amendment concerns, and faces criticism from digital rights groups over breadth and safeguards.
