Marjorie Taylor Greene wants Trump AG to bring 'murder charges' for Ashli Babbit shooting
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) called for President-elect Donald Trump's nominee for attorney general, Pam Bondi, to bring "murder charges" against the Capitol Police officer who shot and killed Ashli Babbit during the Capitol riot on Jan. 6, 2021.
"Yes, 100%," Greene responded after the Washington Examiner asked if she supported charges for the Babbit shooting.
"I would hope that our new incoming attorney general, who I like a lot, I like Pam Bondi a lot, I hope that she looks into it and would consider murder charges, some sort of charges. At least," Greene said.

During the Jan. 6 riot, Babbit was shot by Officer Michael Byrd as she attempted to break through a door window into the House Speaker's Lobby. Byrd was promoted to captain after an investigation cleared him of wrongdoing.
