Katherine Schwab, known as Katie, recently plead guilty for her role in the Capitol insurrection on January 6, 2021.

She was part of the group that took a private plane from North Texas to D.C. the day of the riot, along with Frisco realtor Jenna Ryan.

Schwab initially pleaded not guilty when she was first arraigned last month but has now pleaded guilty to engaging in disruptive or disorderly conduct in a restricted building.

Prosecutors say she "willfully and knowingly engaged in an act of physical violence on Capitol grounds" and supported false claims that the 2020 election was stolen.

Investigators say she also damaged media equipment at the Capitol and took to social media to warn about trouble ahead of the attack.

Schwab will be sentenced in December.
