Ashli Babbitt Shooting Documents UNCOVERED

The investigators note that Byrd, on duty that day since 7:00 a.m., was only equipped with his service weapon, but no ASP or OC. He'd last qualified on the shooting range on October 22, 2020.

In a January 6, 2021, summary report of an interview of another United States Capitol Police officer by the Internal Affairs Division investigator, the interviewee, who was immediately behind Byrd in the Speaker's Lobby when Byrd shot Babbitt, said "He did not see Ms. McEntee [Babbitt] in possession of any potential weapons." The report continued, "He reiterated that he did not observe that she was armed." The United States Capitol Police officer claimed that "Lieutenant Byrd was shaking, he did not say anything. Byrd was nervous, teary-eyed, and appeared very upset. His voice also shaky when he called for medical assistance over the radio. Lieutenant Byrd was still very upset."

When asked about Lt. Byrd's demeanor after the shooting, the officer said about Byrd, "He was shaky. He was, he was teary eyed. You know, you can just tell, like, I ain't gonna say when somebody regrets to do something, when somebody is just nervous, you know, they'll rub their head, they'll pace back and forth." When asked if he heard any verbal commands given by police prior to Babbitt being shot, he replied, "Not at that point" and then "I do not recall that."

In the transcript of his interview, he said that after the shooting of Babbitt, Lt. Byrd "Was down and out" and "Almost in tears." He noted that when Babbitt was shot, "It wasn't that loud", despite having one of his ears completely uncovered.

The man said he saw Lt. Byrd position himself behind a pillar and claimed he heard Byrd shout "Loud verbal commands" stating that he would "Shoot." The interviewee also said Byrd fired twice.

In the June 15, 2021, official Internal Affairs Division Investigative Report issued on the Use of Force shooting of Babbitt by Lt. Michael Byrd, the Metro PD investigators noted that the "Violations that led to police contact" were "Felony Rioting/Unlawful Entry" and the "Violations during police contact" was "Felony Rioting." The investigators further noted that Babbitt had no outstanding arrest warrants, but an entry under "Previous arrests" was fully redacted.

The indictment alleges that Sussmann lied to the FBI-that is, lied to "The FBI General Counsel"-at the time, James Baker-in a September 19, 2019 meeting, when he delivered documents claiming to show communications between the Trump Organization and Russia's Kremlin-connected Alfa Bank.
