Search For Pelosi's Laptop Leads Feds To Alaska - and Wrong Home, Woman Claims
When she asked agents why they didn't just knock, she said they claimed
they did but no one answered.
"While individuals are free to speak about their interactions with the FBI,
we do not, as a matter of practice, discuss or describe any contact we have
or allegedly have with individuals," she said in a Friday email to the AP. "At
this time, and until it reaches the public realm, we can’t discuss the details."
Hueper told the radio station that agents showed her a photo of a woman
that looked remarkably like her and had clothes like hers who they said had
been part of the Capitol invasion.
Other photos that the agents had made it more clear that Hueper was not the
woman they were looking for, she said, according to the Daily News.

"I’m like, ‘Wait a minute. Is that her? That’s clearly not me. Why did you
not show me this to start with?’ " Hueper said, according to the newspaper.
Hueper said she and her husband were in Washington, D.C., on a vacation
that day and while they decided on a whim to attend the pro-Trump rally on
Jan. 6 that preceded the riot, she claims they did not participate in the riot.
She added that she didn’t know Pelosi’s laptop had been stolen until agents
told her they were looking for it.
"I said, ‘Oh, so it was stolen and it’s at large, good to know. I thought
maybe it was just conspiracy theory, so thanks for the intel,’" she told the
radio station.
Around a dozen agents searched the home for about four hours and left the
Huepers a copy of the search warrant, she said.
Hueper said she laughed when an agent asked who she was working with,
then apologized, saying "I don’t mean to be disrespectful and laughing, but
this is really surreal and strange," she told the radio station.
"I still think it’s funny that they want to take me as someone who was
actually there [at the Capitol riot], instead of lost, eating hot dogs at the
other end of the Mall," she said, according to the Daily News.
No arrests were made during the search.
