Attorneys said at a court hearing Friday that they’ve reached a settlement in principle for the U.S. government to pay the family of Ashli Babbitt, a supporter of President Donald Trump who was fatally shot by police on Jan. 6, 2021, as she raised herself into the opening of a broken glass door panel deep inside the U.S. Capitol.
