FBI seeks woman accused of taking Pelosi laptop in Capitol siege, as Washington security tightens [Los Angeles Times]
A manhunt was underway Monday for a Pennsylvania woman suspected of stealing a laptop from the offices of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-San Francisco) during the attack on the U.S. Capitol, possibly with the intent to hand the device over to the Russian government, the FBI said.
The disclosure came as troops and police patrolled Washington in a show of force, seeking to secure President-elect Joe Biden’s upcoming inauguration. Even the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial remained off-limits behind security barriers on the federal holiday dedicated to the civil rights leader.

U.S. security officials say they are taking every precaution to guard against an attack on President-elect Joe Biden s inauguration Wednesday on the steps of the U.S. Capitol, including FBI security screening of the 25,000 members of the National Guard assigned to Washington to protect the event. While we have no intelligence indicating an insider threat, we are leaving no stone unturned in securing the capital, acting Secretary of Defense Christopher Miller said in a statement. He said the troops are being given extra training as they arrive in Washington and told that if they see or hear something that is not appropriate, they should report it to their chain of command.

Donald Trump s looming impeachment trial won t be the tipping point that removes him from office, even if he is convicted Joe Biden will already have taken over.
But it does raise a question: what about all the benefits a former US president gets after leaving office?
An impeachment conviction has never happened before, so it s not certain at this stage exactly which of these benefits Mr Trump would get to keep and which he wouldn t.
