AUGUSTA, Ga. Government contractor Reality Winner made explosive comments about burning down the White House in notebooks the FBI found in her Augusta, Georgia, residence, according to a prosecutor who spoke in U.S. District Court on Thursday.

Winner pleaded not guilty to charges of leaking classified government information. She was denied bail.

Authorities allege Winner, a 25-year-old employee of contractor Pluribus International Corp., accessed a classified document on her work computer in Augusta and mailed it to a news outlet. Thursday was her first court appearance since her Saturday arrest.

During the hearing, prosecutor Jennifer Solari said Winner wrote in a notebook that she wanted to burn the White House down and move to Nepal or Kurdistan. According to Solari, Winner told the FBI she knowingly sought out and printed classified information. Winner also had photos of the document on her cellphone, which she gave over to the FBI, Solari said.

Online news outlet The Intercept published a story Monday describing a Russian cyberattack on a U.S. voting software supplier prior to the 2016 election. An hour later, the Department of Justice announced the criminal complaint against Winner.

The Intercepts report, which was based on a classified National Security Agency document, showed no evidence that the cyberattacks directly altered any votes. The Intercept got the document from an anonymous source but had reached out to the NSA to verify its authenticity. The outlet said in a statement Monday that it doesnt know its sources identity, but the government has told news outlets it was Winner.
