Philadelphia Inquirer: “Federal prosecutors have charged a Harrisburg woman with stealing House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s laptop during the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, an allegation FBI agents began probing based on a tip from her former romantic partner. Though authorities made those claims public over the weekend – that Riley Williams, 22, had taken the computer with the intent to sell it to the Russian security services – she was charged Sunday only with disorderly conduct and illegally entering the Capitol as they continued to investigate her purported role in the laptop theft.”
“But in Williams’ first court appearance Tuesday, Assistant U.S. Attorney Christian Haughsby announced new charges filed later that day, including new charges of theft of government property and obstruction, felonies carrying potential sentences of up to two decades in prison. He did not say whether investigators had confirmed the claims that Williams wanted to send the stolen laptop to Russia, nor did he indicate whether the computer had been recovered.”
