Case Summary
“And yes. I was with the group that f***ing stormed the capital. And I’m proud of it,” wrote Anna Lichnowski to some relatives, who later shared this information and pictures of her from inside the Capitol with a witness, who contacted the FBI. According to court documents, the FBI interviewed a detective with the Brick Township Police Department in New Jersey, Lichnowski’s town, who also confirmed her identity.
