FBI investigates whether woman stole laptop from Pelosi’s office to sell it to Russia

“It looks like WILLIAMS ran away,” according to the statement, which was signed on Sunday and published after 9:00 pm. “According to the local police in Harrisburg, WILLIAMS’s mother stated that WILLIAMS packed up and left the house and told the mother that she would be gone for a few weeks. WILLIAMS did not provide the mother with any information about the intended destination.”

An aide to Pelosi was not immediately available for comment. It was not clear whether a laptop or hard drive was actually stolen.

According to the deposition, a witness who spoke to the authorities said he saw a video of Williams “taking a laptop or hard drive from the office of Mayor Pelosi”.[Witness 1] stated that 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, “noted the agent.” [Witness 1], the transfer of the computer device to Russia failed for unknown reasons and WILLIAMS still has the computer device or destroyed it. “

“This matter is still under investigation”, concludes the agent.

For now, Williams is facing charges of entering a restricted building and disorderly conduct for his actions within the Capitol.

The agent in charge of the Williams case also spoke with police officers in Harrisburg who recently interacted with Williams’ parents. Williams’ mother on January 11 filed a suspicious persons report against the person the FBI identified as “Witness 1”. This witness is described as a former romantic partner of the suspect.

While the local police officers were present, Williams’ mother called her via video and the police saw her wearing a brown jacket that matched the one she was seen wearing in images of the January 6 riots. Harrisburg officials also spoke to Williams’ father, who said he drove her to Washington for the protests, but that they split up during the day while she joined other friends.

The pair returned home from Washington after being outside the Capitol.
