U.S. Capitol Riot: North Texas Realtor Katherine Schwab Facing Additional Charge
The FBI is continuing its investigation of North Texas' Capitol rioters. Last week, the government submitted a new court filing in the case of three North Texas real estate agents who reportedly took a private flight to Washington to join the rally-turned-riot.
The government slapped Colleyville’s Katherine “Katie” Staveley Schwab with an additional charge for her alleged involvement in the insurrection.
According to court documents, Schwab “willfully and knowingly engaged in an act of physical violence” on Capitol grounds on Jan. 6, when supporters of former President Donald Trump stormed the building, egged on by Trump's false claims that the presidential election was stolen from him. Along with Frisco real estate broker Jennifer “Jenna” Leigh Ryan, Schwab had previously pleaded not guilty to four counts, including violent entry and disorderly conduct in a Capitol building.
Schwab’s attorney did not return the Observer's request for comment by publication time, but Ryan’s attorney, Guy L. Womack, gave us an update. Schwab is likely facing another count because the government believes she kicked a news outlet’s camera, which had fallen to the ground, Womack said.
