A New York mother and son have been charged with theft in aiding the disappearance of Speaker Pelosi’s laptop during the Jan. 6 Capitol riot after the FBI initially raided a home 4,500 miles away in Alaska, looking for the computer.
Both appeared in federal court Friday in Syracuse, New York, and released pending further proceedings, according to a statement from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of New York.
A tip to the FBI led them to the mother and son, according to a statement of facts documented by an unnamed FBI special agent. Mooney-Rondon then said she believes she saw the man put the computer in his backpack. Her son told investigators that be thinks he might have pushed the computer “in his bag a little bit using a glove ’cause he didn’t want to get his fingerprints on it,” the document says.
