The 22-year-old Pennsylvania woman who is accused of stealing House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s laptop computer during the Jan. 6 breach of the U.S. Capitol is trying to hide her involvement in the crime, prosecutors alleged Monday.

Prosecutors told the court that they were aware Williams was shutting down her social media accounts, news outlets reported. But, prosecutors added, they now “have indications that she was instructing other people to delete messages as well.”
