Trump Floats “Compensation Fund” For Capitol Rioters

Mediaite reports:

On Tuesday, Trump appeared on Newsmax, where Greg Kelly asked him about reparations for the rioters. The host first pointed to a lawsuit against the federal government filed by the family of Ashli Babbitt, who was shot and killed by a police officer as she attempted to break through a door. Kelly noted that the Department of Justice is still fighting that lawsuit and asked, “Shouldn’t that be something that can just be settled at this point?”

Trump said he was unaware of the situation and that he would “look into that” because Babbitt “was a really good person.” “Is there any talk of – because they lost opportunity, they lost income – any kind of compensation fund?” Kelly asked, referring to the rioters in general.

“Well, there’s talk about that,” the president replied. “A lot of the people that are in government now talk about it because a lot of the people in government really like that group of people. They were patriots as far as I was concerned. I talk about them a lot. They were treated very unfairly.”
