FBI investigating woman said to have stolen Pelosi’s laptop during Capitol riot to sell to Russia
- The Federal Bureau of Investigation has obtained an arrest warrant for a woman alleged to have stolen a laptop from House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., during the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, with the intention of selling the device to the Russian equivalent of the Central Intelligence Agency.
- In an affidavit signed on Sunday, FBI Special Agent Jonathan Lund said the agency was investigating Riley June Williams after a person described as her “former romantic partner” told authorities that Williams intended to send the computer to a friend in Russia who would then pass it along to the SVR, the country’s spy force.
- Lund wrote that the former romantic partner said the transfer of the laptop “fell through for unknown reasons” and that Williams either still has the device or destroyed it.
Williams appears to have fled, Lund wrote in his affidavit. Williams’s mother told local law enforcement in Harrisburg, Pa. that Williams had “packed a bag and left her home and told her mother she would be gone for a couple of weeks.”
“WILLIAMS did not provide her mother any information about her intended destination,” Lund wrote. “Sometime after January 6, 2021, WILLIAMS changed her telephone number and deleted what I believe were her social media accounts on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Reddit, Telegram, and Parler.”...
