The
FBI has found scant evidence that the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol was
the result of an organized plot to overturn the presidential election
result, according to four current and former law enforcement officials.
Though federal officials have arrested more than 570 alleged participants,
the FBI at this point believes the violence was not centrally coordinated
by far-right groups or prominent supporters of then-President Donald
Trump.
Judicial Watch eceived an additional 2,440 pages of records
related to the death of U.S. Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick which
show major media representatives pressuring the Office of the Chief Medical
Examiner of the District of Columbia over its conclusion that Officer
Sicknick had died of natural causes.
Judicial Watch received 1160 pages of documents from Washington,
DC’s Office of the Chief Medical Examiner (OCME) related to Air Force
veteran and San Diego native Ashli Babbitt. These new documents reveal that
OCME submitted a request for permission to cremate Babbitt only two days
after taking custody of her body and that ‘due to the “high profile
nature” of Babbitt’s case, Deputy Chief Medical Examiner Francisco Diaz
requested that a secure electronic file with limited access be created for
Babbitt’s records.
“The normal course of action in a police-related shooting is to quickly
inform the public of the details – but the lack of transparency in the
killing of veteran Ashli Babbitt in the U.S. Capitol is unprecedented and
obviously political,” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. “That
Judicial Watch must file a lawsuit for basic information after five months
of stonewalling is a scandal.”
