The authorities are searching for a Florida woman who slipped away from federal monitoring just days before she was set to go on trial in connection with the attack on the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.

The woman, Olivia Michele Pollock, was to be tried on Monday in Federal District Court in Washington on charges of assaulting police officers and interfering with law enforcement. But on Friday, a federal judge issued an arrest warrant for Ms. Pollock after she broke the terms of her release agreement with the government and disappeared.

Terrorist on the run!
 
Ms. Pollock is accused of elbowing an officer in the chest during the Capitol attack and of trying to take the officer’s baton. Prosecutors say that Mr. Hutchinson punched one officer and yanked at the sleeve of another after helping to tear down a fence outside the Capitol, allowing other rioters to surge forward.

Three other people, including Ms. Pollock’s brother, have been charged in the case with various crimes. Two of them, Joshua Doolin and Michael Perkins, who were originally scheduled to go on trial on Monday with Ms. Pollock, are set to be tried starting on Tuesday.
 
Prosecutors Seek to Show Jan. 6 Videos at Proud Boys Trial

From the start, prosecutors overseeing the trial of five Proud Boys charged with sedition in connection with the attack on the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, have faced a conundrum.

Scores of members of the far-right group took part in the storming of the Capitol and often played a decisive role in breaching barricades and assaulting the police. But the use of violence by the defendants themselves — mostly leaders of the group — was relatively limited. Enrique Tarrio, the Proud Boys’ former chairman, and one of the men on trial, was not even in Washington that day.
