CHICAGO (CBS) -- The sister of a Chicago police officer charged in the attack on the U.S. Capitol appeared in court.

Agnieszka Chwiesiuk is facing four federal charges. The FBI said she was with her brother Karol inside the U.S. Capitol. On Tuesday, a motion was filed requesting a speedy trial and another motion would get rid of what's described as some unnecessary evidence.

As for her brother, Karol Chwiesiuk has pleaded "not guilty" and is now on no-pay status with the Chicago Police Department.
