FBI investigating whether woman stole laptop from Nancy Pelosi’s office to sell it to Russia

The FBI is investigating evidence that a woman who entered the US Capitol on January 6 stole a laptop or hard drive from Speaker Nancy Pelosi‘s office and intended to sell it to Russians.

The bizarre claim, which the FBI emphasised remains under investigation, was included in an affidavit describing the criminal case against Riley June Williams, a Pennsylvania woman who was seen in footage of the January 6 insurrection in an area of the Capitol near Pelosi‘s office.

And it is not clear if the FBI has been able to apprehend her.

“It appears that WILLIAMS has fled,” according to the affidavit, which was signed on Sunday and posted publicly after 9pm.
