Feds: Accused 'bullhorn lady' should remain on home detention pending trial on Capitol riot charges

PITTSBURGH — The "bullhorn lady" doesn't think she should have to be on electronic monitoring with an ankle bracelet pending trial on charges of breaching the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021 in support of former President Donald Trump's election fraud claims.

But federal prosecutors say Rachel Powell smashed her way into the Capitol, directed other rioters on where to go, stood by doing nothing while a fellow rioter beat up a cop and talked in support of civil war and "bloodshed."

They say she's dangerous and should remain under court supervision until her case is resolved.
