Woman convicted of storming Pelosi's office in Jan. 6 attack

A Pennsylvania woman linked to the far-right “Groyper” extremist movement was convicted Monday of several federal charges after prosecutors said she was part of a group that stormed House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's office during the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol.

Riley June Williams was found guilty of six federal counts, including civil disorder.

The jury also failed to reach a unanimous verdict on whether Williams obstructed an official proceeding.
