Two women in Pennsylvania were arrested Friday for allegedly storming the U.S. Capitol building during the Jan. 6 violation and for expressing intent to assassinate House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
Dawn Bancroft and Diana Santos-Smith are facing three charges of intentional trespassing or staying in a restricted building without legal authority, violent trespassing and disorderly conduct on the Capitol grounds.
In a Friday statement, an FBI agent described how cell phone footage, apparently filmed by Bancroft, showed the couple leaving the Capitol.
“We broke into the Capitol … we came in, we did our part,” Bancroft, who has a MAGA ski cap, said in the video. “We were looking for Nancy to shoot her in the brain, but we did not find her.”
But when prosecutors questioned an interview with Santos-Smith, who was also shown in the affidavit, wearing a red MAGA baseball cap on January 20, she denied entering the building.
They later showed her a video of the two of them in the Capitol, in which she allegedly admitted that she had ‘lied’ and said that they did not have a pre-planned agenda ‘.

Santos-Smith also said that when she and Bancroft approached the Capitol, they heard other pro-Trump supporters shouting, “They let us in,” which she said she interpreted as “allowed.” Although she and Bancroft tried to enter different places, they climbed through a broken window.
Santos-Smith told prosecutors she “knew they were not entering the building,” claiming none of the women entered any offices or any room. She claims the couple of them left ‘about 30 seconds to one minute’ after entering the building through the same window they entered.

Bancroft, who took the video, sent the footage to her children, but then deleted it and advised them to do the same. She provided the authorities with additional footage and images she had taken from that day.
