 She has asked to confer with counsel. From Riley Williams amended statement of facts: "WILLIAMS taking a laptop  from Speaker Pelosi’s office. W1 stated WILLIAMS intended to send the computer device to a friend in Russia, who then planned to sell the device to SVR, Russia’s foreign intelligence service."

 Now Riley Williams is back - but her lawyer says he has another Zoom call at 3 pm, "can this be continued until tomorrow?"

Judge Faruqui: OK, but can I squeeze the next 8 minutes out of you?

Lawyer: I have to call in, but sure.

Judge Faruqui: Ok, 6 minutes...

Judge Faruqui: Mr Kramer what looks good to you tomorrow?

AUSA: I'm wide open. Judge Faruqui: Let's get it done in the morning, we have more of these in the afternoon. So, 10:30 tomorrow. I have some questions, I'm very concerned. OK, we are adjourned.
