The feds have charged two Illinois women with joining the riot at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, including one who they said appeared to be talking on a handheld radio during the breach, records show.
No attorney had been listed in court records for the women Thursday morning, and neither could immediately be reached for comment. The case against the pair brings the number of known Illinois residents charged in the breach to 30.
Five minutes later, they said the same woman could be seen entering the Capitol through the Senate Wing Door. Next to her was a woman they believed to be Castle wearing a white jacket, dark pants, and a "Trump" knit hat carrying multiple small American flags and a black satchel. From there, the feds say the women could be seen making their way down to the lower-level Visitor Center, where Kimberly DiFrancesco appeared to be talking on a handheld radio.
