Michael Byrd, the U.S. Capitol Police lieutenant who shot and killed an unarmed Ashli Babbitt at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, was secretly housed at a major Maryland military base after the shooting while his name was being withheld from the public, a new lawsuit contends.
That allegation was made on Oct. 7 by Judicial Watch. The organization stated that it filed a federal Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit to unearth details about Byrd’s housing arrangement at Joint Base Andrews (JBA), which was known as Andrews Air Force Base prior to 2009.
