They said she was heard saying in one video, “I am in Congress. This is our house. This is our house! … I don’t know what we are doing now but we are in here. We’ve taken it.”

Gray was originally indicted on 11 criminal charges but as part of a plea agreement with prosecutors, she pleaded guilty to one charge of aiding and abetting in the obstruction of an official proceeding.

She entered the plea in federal court on Thursday.

According to court records, she will be sentenced on Sept. 28.
