PELOSI COMPUTER SHOPPED TO RUSSIANS, FBI SAYS
WASHINGTON U.S. authorities are investigating whether a woman took a laptop computer or hard drive from U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's office during the Jan. 6 siege of the Capitol and tried to sell it to Russian intelligence, according to a court filing.
An FBI agent disclosed the detail in an affidavit released on Sunday that outlined a criminal case against Riley June Williams, a Pennsylvania woman accused of unlawfully breaching the Capitol building and directing people to Pelosi's office.
According to the affidavit, the FBI received a tip from a former partner of Williams. The tipster said Williams “intended to send the computer device to a friend in Russia, who then planned to sell the device to SVR, Russia's foreign intelligence service.”
