According to prosecutors, Carpenter was a Trump supporter who told a relative that she had gone to the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021 to protest the election results. The insurrection occurred following a rally that then-President Donald Trump held near the White House, during which he spouted numerous lies about the election being stolen from him.
FILE – Violent insurrectionists loyal to President Donald Trump stand outside the U.S. Capitol in Washington on Jan. 6, 2021. The public hearings of the House committee investigating the insurrection pose a challenge to Democrats seeking to maintain narrow control of Congress. Finally, after about 34 minutes inside the Capitol and being impacted by chemical irritants sprayed during the incident, Carpenter left the Capitol building. In a video, she acknowledged that the breach had been made, and that “it needs to calm down now.” She then demanded that Congress “come out” and “certify Trump as president,” despite the fact that he lost the election.
