A woman known as the “pink hat lady” from the January 6th riot is now asking a federal court to remove her ankle monitor.
However, prosecutors say Rachel Powell of Mercer County smashed her way into the Capitol Building that day and believe she needs to be continually monitored during her trial.
Powell says the ankle bracelet is harming her personal life and job by limiting where she can move throughout the day.
She is facing a number of charges for her role on January 6th after video evidence showed her breaking windows with a pipe and using a bullhorn to shout out directions to rioters.
