A Texas real estate agent who took a private jet to the capital to participate in the assault on the US Capitol last week and called the attack "the best day" of her life is now facing federal charges.

Jennifer Ryan, who goes by the name Jenna Ryan on social media, is the latest person to be charged in connection with the Jan.6 attack, which left five dead, including a Capitol Police officer.

Federal authorities said in court documents released Friday that Ryan traveled with a group to Washington DC on January 5 and documented their two-day trip on social media.

In a now-deleted video, Ryan said, "We're going to get there and storm the Capitol. They're down there right now and

that's what we came to and that's what we're going to do. So wish me luck."

In another video that is still on Ryan's Facebook page, the woman is seen with a group of Donald Trump supporters walking toward the Capitol.

"This is the prelude to the war that is about to happen," he said in the video.

The woman also did a live broadcast while breaking into federal facilities.

"Let's go in here, damn it. Life or death, it doesn't matter. Here we go," he said in a now-deleted video.

Ryan later added, “Everyone knows who to hire as a real estate agent.

Jenna Ryan for her real estate agent. "

Authorities said hours after the attack, Ryan wrote on Twitter that he had "just broken into" the Capitol.

"It was one of the best days of my life," he wrote, according to court documents.

In a photo included in the documents, he is seen standing next to a broken window in Congress.

In the caption, he said the news network studios would be next "if the news doesn't stop lying about us."

It is not clear if he has hired an attorney.

In a statement issued Jan. 8, Ryan said he thought he was attending a "peaceful political march" but that it turned into a violent protest.

"I do not condone the violence that occurred," he wrote.

"And I am truly heartbroken for the people who have lost their lives. The hatred and violence of one another will not solve the problems of our country. As a nation, Republicans, Democrats, and independents must come together and have an open and honest discussion about the problems of our country and solve our problems in peace. "
