Jenna Ryan, who flew to Washington on a private jet, hosted a Facebook live stream showing herself entering the Capitol, promoting her business and saying: 'We’re going to fucking go in here. Life or death.'

Ryan claimed on NBC News she had not been advocating aggression. She faces charges of disorderly conduct and knowingly entering a restricted area. Like other members of the mob, Ryan has asked Trump for a pardon, but said she would not hold it against Trump if no pardon were forthcoming
