President Donald J. Trump is actively considering providing financial relief to January 6 protesters. During a Tuesday night interview, Trump revealed, “A lot of the people that are in the government now talk about it because a lot of the people in government really like that group of people.”
The America First leader said he was “a big fan” of Ashli Babbitt—the unarmed U.S. Air Force who was slain by Capitol Police officer and known liar Michael Byrd. “Ashli Babbitt was a really good person who was a big MAGA fan, Trump fan. And she was innocently standing there, they even say trying to sort of hold back the crowd, and a man did something to her that was unthinkable when he shot her,” Trump said.
The National Pulse previously reported on video analysis showing Babbitt conversing with police and attempting to diffuse tensions between them and some of the rowdier demonstrators.
On whether Byrd, who still serves with the Capitol Police, could face sanctions, the President said he would “take a look at it.”
Raheem Kassam, Editor-in-Chief of The National Pulse, argued in December that justice for the January 6 defendants should not end with pardons and that they should be compensated and the January 6 Committee punished.
WATCH:
Justice for J6 doesn’t end with pardons.
The Cheneys, the Pelosis, the Thompsons, and all their accomplices must be held accountable.
Ruin them forever, like they’ve done to so many patriotic American families. pic.twitter.com/ZCFcD5iibZ
