U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) told the media Tuesday (Jan. 19) that she is “not worried” about the laptop stolen by protesters who stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6.
“I’m not worried about that particular laptop,” Pelosi said Tuesday in an interview with Microsoft-NBC, but trying to sell it to a “hostile foreign power” could “jeopardize all kinds of information.
“But it doesn’t matter,” Pelosi explained, “any Time a constituent writes a letter to a member of Congress, it’s confidential, it’s a private letter from a person conveying their concerns and their own situation – whether it’s about to social security or immigration, whatever it is – it’s all confidential. So for them to take these things not only violates my office, it also offends my connection to my constituents.”
Pelosi said the computer “happens to be something that we use for things like Zooms. Earlier this month, a spokesman for Pelosi said the stolen laptop was “only used for speeches.
Riley June Williams of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, is accused of taking a laptop computer from Pelosi’s office during the Jan. 6 riots and planning to sell it to Russian intelligence agencies. The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is investigating whether the allegation is true.
The Justice Department said Monday that Williams had been arrested the same day in the Middle District of Pennsylvania. She was charged with unlawful entry into the Capitol and violent Home invasion and disorderly conduct on the Capitol grounds. The person who reported Williams is her ex-boyfriend.
In addition, Christopher Stanton Georgia, 53, was found dead in the basement of his home after being shot eight times on Saturday (16). The local police declared the investigation as “suicide”. Georgia had entered the Capitol on January 6, tapped into Pelosi’s office and looked at her laptop.
