That's according to an affidavit released on Sunday night outlining a criminal case against Williams, who was also accused of directing people to Pelosi's office during the siege of the capital.

The theft of Elektronik devices from congressional offices has been a persistent worry since supporters of President Donald Trump stormed the capital, and acting U.

S attorney Michael Sherwin said that some of the thefts might have potentially jeopardized what he described as national security equities, according to the affidavit.

The tipster said Williams quote intended to send the computer device to a friend in Russia who then planned to sell the device to Russia's foreign intelligence service.

But that quote, the transfer of the computer device to Russia, fell through for unknown reasons, and Williams still has the computer device or destroyed it.

The FBI said that it appears Williams has fled and addressed near Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, that she shared with her mother and that she deactivated her phone number and took down her social media accounts.

Two days after the capital siege.

A spokesman for Pelosi said a laptop used for presentations was stolen from a conference room in Pelosi's office.

It was unclear whether that device was the one Williams was accused of taking.
