Prosecutors say far-right extremist charged with aiding and abetting the theft of a laptop from Speaker Pelosi's office during the Jan. 6 Capitol attack, 'led an army' towards the Pelosi's suite.
, a 23-year-old Pennsylvania woman arrested weeks after the Capitol attack, faces eight counts in connection with Jan. 6. Video features her encouraging rioters to take a laptop inside Pelosi's office, and urging the mob to push up against officers inside the Capitol rotunda. Williams, both prosecutors and the defense agreed, was obsessed witha far-right, white nationalist movement. Many of her more inflammatory posts haven't been shown to the jury.
“The alarming part of what she did was how calm she was,” Dalke said. “She’s not paralyzed. She doesn’t hesitate. She takes charge of that mob." "That's how turned around she was," Ulrich said."She initially thought she was entering the White House."Assistant U.S. Attorney Michael Gordon, on rebuttal, told jurors that Williams formed her intent when the opportunity arose.
