Kentucky man suspected of stealing Nancy Pelosi's laptop during Capitol riot

A Kentucky man charged with storming the U.S. Capitol is suspected by the FBI of stealing a laptop belonging to then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi from a conference room during the Jan. 6, 2021, riot. Newly unsealed court records show that David Slinker was arrested near Edmonton, Kentucky, on Oct. 29, on misdemeanor charges. FBI agents didn’t find the stolen laptop when they searched Slinker’s Kentucky home in November 2023. Slinker isn’t charged with theft, but an FBI agent’s affidavit suggests that he left the Capitol with the stolen computer inside his backpack after other rioters helped him remove it from a conference room.
