Accused Capitol rioter from Pa. who called for members of Congress to be hanged shouldn't be allowed to present alibi, feds say

PITTSBURGH — The federal government is demanding that accused Capitol rioter Pauline Bauer, who has repeatedly invoked the Bible in arguing that she is a sovereign citizen ungoverned by U.S. law, not be allowed to present an alibi defense or make any argument outside the facts of her case when she goes to trial this summer.

Bauer, 54, a pizza shop owner from Kane, Pennsylvania, is seen on video surveillance screaming for police to bring out House Speaker Nancy Pelosi so the mob can "hang that [expletive] [expletive]," according to the FBI.

She is also heard demanding that police bring other members of Congress out to be hanged and is seen shoving a police officer and screaming profanities, according to government evidence.
