Judicial Watch Sues for Details of Ashli Babbitt’s Shooter’s
Special Housing

[[link removed]]

The government’s actions during and after the January 6, 2021,
events at the U.S. Capitol continue raising serious questions. We’re
now pursuing a rather extraordinary cover-up of Defense Department
involvement in the aftermath of the police killing of an unarmed
veteran on that day.

We filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit against the U.S.
Department of Defense and U.S. Department of Justice for records
related to the housing of U.S. Capitol Police Lieutenant Michael Byrd
at Joint Base Andrews after he shot and killed U.S. Air Force veteran
Ashli Babbitt inside the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021 (_Judicial
Watch v U.S. Department of Defense and U.S. Department of Justice_
[[link removed]]
(No. 1:22-cv-02948)).

We have received information that Byrd was housed at Andrews in the
immediate period after he killed Babbitt.

The unarmed Babbitt was shot and killed
[[link removed]]
as she allegedly climbed through a broken interior window in the
United States Capitol. She was a 14-year Air Force veteran. The
identity of the shooter was kept secret by Congress, the Justice
Department, and DC police for eight months until Byrd went public
[[link removed]]
in August 2021 to try to defend his killing of Babbitt.

We sued in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia after
Joint Base Andrews, the Civil Rights Division of the Justice
Department, and the FBI failed to respond to three July 2022 FOIA
requests about Byrd’s housing while his name as the shooter of Ashli
Babbitt was being withheld from the public by the government.

In our complaint, we explained to the court that we had asked all
three government agencies for all records relating to the billeting of
Byrd at Andrews from January 6, 2021, to July 2022, including
authorization papers, housing, meals, transportation, and visitor
logs.

Here’s some background.

In June 2022, we produced DOJ records
[[link removed]]
related to the shooting that included a memo recommending “that the
United States Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia decline
for criminal prosecution the fatal shooting of Ashli McEntee
[Babbitt],” also noting that the shooter, Byrd, “did not create a
police report or documents” related to the shooting of Babbitt. A
footnote details missing evidence: “During the debrief of Lieutenant
Byrd, he did recall writing a few sentences on an evidence bag the
evening of January 6, 2021, at the request of a crime scene officer.
To date, the bag has not been located by USCP or MPD.”

In November 2021, we received
[[link removed]]
multiple audio
[[link removed]],
visual
[[link removed]]
and photo records
[[link removed]]
from the DC Metropolitan Police Department about the shooting death of
Ashli Babbitt on January 6, 2021, in the U.S. Capitol Building. The
records include a cell phone video
[[link removed]]
of the shooting. An audio file of a police interview of the shooter,
Byrd, indicates he declined to cooperate.

We previously uncovered records from the DC Metropolitan Police
showing that multiple officers claimed they didn’t see a weapon
[[link removed]]
in Babbitt’s
hand before Byrd shot her, and that Byrd was visibly distraught
afterward. One officer attested that he didn’t recall hearing any
verbal commands before Byrd shot Babbitt. The records include internal
communications about Byrd’s case and a crime scene examination
report. Investigators who wrote the January 6, 2021, Metro PD Death
Report
[[link removed]]
for Babbitt (identified as Ashli Elizabeth McEntee-Babbitt Pamatian)
note that the possible Manner of Death was “Homicide (Police
Involved Shooting).”

We are engaged in a comprehensive, independent investigation into the
January 6 disturbance:

* February 2022: we filed an opposition
[[link removed]]
to the U.S. Capitol Police’s (USCP) effort to shut down our federal
lawsuit for January 6 videos and emails. Through its police
department, Congress argues
[[link removed]]
that the videos and emails are not public records, there is no public
interest in their release, and that “sovereign immunity” prevents
citizens from suing for their release.
* In November 2021: we – in our FOIA lawsuit asking for records of
communication between the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and
several financial institutions about the reported transfer of
financial transaction records of people in DC, Maryland and Virginia
on January 5 and January 6, 2021 – told a federal court that the FBI
may have violated law
[[link removed]]
in
its January 6 probes.

The liberal Big Media, the compromised Biden administration, and the
complicit Pelosi Congress have zero interest in justice for the
killing of Ashli Babbitt. Judicial Watch, with your support, is
proud to step into this accountability gap to demand the truth.

JUDICIAL WATCH REVEALS BIDEN ADMINISTRATION PROPAGANDA PLAN FOR COVID
VACCINE

Judicial Watch just uncovered a major document about the Biden
administration’s propaganda effort to push the COVID vaccines.

We received 249 pages
[[link removed]]
of records from the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS)
detailing extensive media plans for a propaganda campaign.

We received the records in response to an August 2021 FOIA lawsuit
[[link removed]]
we filed after HHS
failed to respond to an April 19, 2021 request for records related to
the Biden HHS’ “COVID-19 Community Corps
[[link removed]
program
(_Judicial Watch v. U.S. Department of Health and Human Services_
[[link removed]]
(No. 1:22-cv-02315)).

We asked for all records regarding the application process; all
organizations asking to be chosen to participate; all grants; and all
communications of representatives of the Department of Health and
Human Services regarding the program.

The newly released records include a document
[[link removed]]
titled “PEC [Public Education Campaign] Plan April 19 -May 31
[2021],” which includes the following media plans and action items:

Major [Public Education] Projects in April

* Vaccine engagement package to all entertainment talent and
management agencies
* Vaccine engagement package to all media companies and show
producers
* Outreach to major culture event producers
* Outreach with WCDT [likely We Can Do This] brand and engagement
ideas to major businesses and associations
* Launch Community Corps Business Chapter
* Start celebrity Share the Mics

***
POTUS May 1-31

* Late night hosts vaccination video.

***
Additional Ideas to be Considered

Digital Media

* Produce HHS question-and-answer videos featuring local Black
doctors discussing the vaccines, how they work, and why the public
should get vaccinated
* Request that Tom Brady create a video with his parents encouraging
vaccination (his parents had COVID last year and he has talked about
their tough recovery).
* Create custom partnerships with the social media platforms with
algorithms to hit the audience.
* Launch Hollywood comedy writers video content.

***

* Work with YouTube on an original special about vaccinations
targeted to young people (similar to the YouTube’s Dear Call of 2020
special).
* Work with Instagram to produce a series about vaccines for
@Instagram (the largest social media account in the world, 387 million
followers). Feature young creators doing in-depth pieces about young
people’s questions. Request a Stories Highlight on Vaccines on
@Instagram to stay on the account through 2021.
* Request major TikTok, Snapchat and Instagram influences to create
videos of themselves being vaccinated and start a special campaign of
funny and/or musical videos about being vaccinate to encourage others
to create content and post.

Earned Media

* Request a vaccination special on Christian Broadcast Network
featur[ing] Evangelical leaders.
* Request that the major live TV entertainment shows feature hosts
being vaccinated on air (ex: the hosts of The Voice).
* Request that the TV morning and daytime talk shows feature special
vaccination reunion moments with everyday Americans talking about what
this means to them (ex: hugging grandma for the first time).
* Convene an editorial meeting with the publishers of Catholic
newspapers and newsletters across the country (ex: _America Magazine,
Florida Catholic, The Catholic Spirit, The Tablet_).
* Dr. Biden interview with Chip and Joanna Gaines for Magnolia.
* Request vaccination specials with BET, The Undefeated, Desus &
Mero, Sneaker Shopper Hot Ones.
* Request a vaccination special With Christian Broadcasting Netflix
and Evangelical leaders.
* Place a trusted messenger on the Joe Rogan Show and Barstool
Sports to promote vaccination (work with outside expert to identify
who will be most effective).

Partnerships

* Work with the NFL, NASCAR, MLB, CMA to request they create content
with their talent and release through their broadcast and social
channels. Also create a Share the Mic program where the talent
elevates public health voices.
* Work with all major sports leagues to send vaccination information
to ticket holders
* Work with ESPN for hosts to provide vaccination information.
* Partner with Disneyland Parks for vaccination events when the
amusement parks reopen.
* Work with the Hollywood guilds to work vaccination messaging into
scriped and reality TV shows (ex: Writers Guild, Directors Guild.)

These records show a disturbing and massive campaign by the Biden
administration to propagandize and politicize the controversial COVID
vaccine. It seems as if the entire entertainment industry was an agent
for the government!

MILLIONS IN DHS ‘TERRORISM PREVENTION’ GRANTS GO TO PROMOTE
‘MEDIA LITERACY'

Our _Corruption Chronicles_ blog has disturbing details
[[link removed]]
about the expanding Biden administration scheme to control and censor
Americans:

The agency created after 9/11 to protect the nation from another
terrorist attack is giving nonprofits, local governments, and academic
institutions millions of dollars to promote media literacy and combat
what the Biden administration considers to be “disinformation.”
Among the recipients of the grants awarded by the Department of
Homeland Security (DHS) is a center founded by former President Jimmy
Carter to implement a “media literacy curriculum” designed to
mitigate the harms presented by disinformation. In all, DHS will dole
out around $7 million for its new media literacy campaign, which is
part of a broader and handsomely funded initiative called Targeted
Violence and Terrorism Prevention Program (TVTP) launched in 2020 to
“prevent targeted violence and terrorism.”

This year DHS is doling out $20 million
[[link removed]]
in grants to dozens of recipients to meet TVTP’s mission of
preventing incidents of domestic violent extremism, as well as to
bolster efforts to counter online radicalization and mobilization to
violence. In the press release announcing the $20 million investment,
DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said the agency is equipping local
communities and organizations, including those “historically
underserved,” with needed resources to become more effective
partners to strengthen security and help Americans feel safe and
secure. In the announcement DHS reveals that it encouraged applicants
from diverse groups and conducted extensive outreach to a variety of
public and nonprofit sectors. In fact, the agency writes that among
this year’s priorities is “advancing equity in awards and engaging
underserved communities in prevention.”

A chunk of the TVTP money—$7 million—will be dedicated to the
media literacy campaign
[[link removed]],
which will
focus largely on combatting “misinformation and disinformation.”
The Carter Center, which was founded by the former Democratic
president, is getting $99,372 to implement its media literacy
curriculum. The goal is to address the gap in media literacy education
in the United States within a targeted violence and terrorism
prevention context to demonstrate the effectiveness in mitigating the
harms presented by disinformation, according to DHS. “This
partnership would allow The Carter Center to deploy its curriculum
modules over a two-year period in multiple classroom settings
targeting a wide population aged 18 to 60 years old,” DHS writes in
its recent announcement. “Media literacy trainings build capacities
in evaluating media sources, assessing media intent, interpreting
media messages, understanding how the brain processes information,
understanding how online media shapes perception, recognizing false
and misleading information, investigating suspicious claims, and
practicing good media hygiene.”

The University of Rhode Island will receive $701,612 to combat
disinformation, conspiracy theories and propaganda that have become
large-scale social problems shaping the ways citizens view facts,
define truth, and make decisions, according to DHS. The university
will use the taxpayer dollars to create initiatives that help people
critically analyze information, digital media, and popular culture to
benefit all members of society by “diminishing the appeal of
us-vs-them thinking that activates strong emotions and oversimplifies
ideas and information.” The Woodrow Wilson International Center for
Scholars will get $750,000 to create an “educational digital game”
designed to help students understand different strategies used to
spread disinformation and combat it at the institutional level. The
Uran Rural Action, a group that strives for a “more inclusive
democracy” across ideological and racial differences, will receive
$769,190 to create a “Local Prevention Framework.”

Above is just a sample of the groups that will fill their coffers with
public funds for this fictitious crisis created by the Biden
administration to control information. Many more are getting six
figures from the government for this nonsense. “Disinformation,
conspiracy theories, and propaganda have become large-scale social
problems, shaping the way citizens view facts, define truth, and make
decisions,” according to the DHS grant document.
Until next week…
