A woman accused of taking part in the January 6 siege on the US Capitol asked a federal judge for permission to leave the country on holiday this month. In a court filing Monday, lawyers for Jenny Louise Cudd requested the court’s blessing to travel to Mexico’s Riviera Maya from February 18-21 for a prepaid “work-related bonding retreat” with her employees and their spouses. Cudd, a small-business owner in Midland, Texas, is on pretrial release after being charged with two misdemeanour offences, including entering a federal building without permission and engaging in disorderly conduct. The filing, obtained by USA Today , noted that Cudd has no prior criminal history and has remained in contact with her lawyer and pretrial service officer, who had no objection to her proposed travel plan. Prosecutors took “no position” on the request. The federal magistrate’s office said permission has not been granted and would not say when a ruling might come. Lawyers for Cudd did not respond to a request for comment on the request. Under the conditions of her release, Cudd is not allowed to travel to Washington unless it is for a court appearance or a meeting with her lawyers or pretrial services officer. She is not allowed to travel outside Texas, and international travel must be approved by a judge. Cudd was one of many who confirmed participation in the attack on social media, saying in a Facebook video, “I was here today on January 6 when the new revolution started at the Capitol.” The FBI said her videos and photos placed her in the Capitol during the incident. After a speech by President Donald Trump outside the White House, his supporters stormed the Capitol, intent on stopping Vice-President Mike Pence and Congress from confirming the Electoral College vote declaring Joe Biden the winner of the 2020 presidential election. On the video, Cudd said, “This is all raw, and I’m going to be swearing. I’m so (expletive) mad, I can’t even see straight, and my heart breaks for my country.” In an interview with Texas ABC affiliate NewsWest 9, she denied any wrongdoing, saying, “I went inside the Capitol completely legally, and I did not do anything to hurt anybody or destroy any property.” She said she did not have any weapons or ammunition with her in the Capitol.

Cudd told the ABC affiliate she had received “seven different death threats”, and her business received 500 negative reviews on Google from across the country rather than from local patrons. “So what they’re trying to do is cancel me because I stood up for what I believe in, and I can tell you this it’s – and it’s what I’ve told everybody – I would do it again in a heartbeat,” Cudd said.
