BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW) — A Western New York woman charged in connection with the January 6 riots is seeking permission from a federal judge to travel to Washington for President-elect Donald Trump's inauguration on Monday.

Adrienna DiCioccio's lawyers have requested to modify her release conditions allowing her to travel with her father to the inauguration.

The court paperwork, obtained by the 7 News I-Team, emphasizes that attending the event would be "especially meaningful" for DiCioccio, as President Trump has indicated he might pardon non-violent January 6 defendants.

DiCioccio's request includes a timeline, asking the court to issue the order by today to ensure she has time to travel. The court's decision on this request remains uncertain.

The outcome of DiCioccio's request could set a precedent for other January 6 defendants seeking similar travel permissions. The court's decision is awaited.
