The FBI began to investigate the data that the woman who stole the laptop of the Speaker of the US House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi during the storming of the Capitol planned to hand it over to her friend in Russia so that he would sell it to the Russian special services. This is reported by Politico, citing sources.
It is noted that the involvement of Riley June Williams from Pennsylvania in the theft of Pelosi’s laptop became known from the testimony of a witness in the case of the riots in Washington on January 6. He stated that he saw a video showing a woman taking a computer or hard drive from a politician’s office.
“The witness said that Williams was planning to send the device to a friend in Russia, who was supposed to sell the laptop to the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service,” the source said.
Harrisburg City Police said the woman was likely hiding. Williams’ mother said that after the storming of the Capitol, her daughter packed her bag and left, saying that she would be gone for a couple of weeks.
