Isabella Maria DeLuca, a prominent social media influencer known for her conservative views, is currently facing charges for her involvement in the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol. Recent reports have unveiled that DeLuca, who boasts a substantial following of over 330,000 on X platform, has been accused of unlawfully entering the Capitol building and actively participating in the chaos by assisting in passing a table out of a window.
“This table was subsequently used to assault law enforcement officers guarding the Lower West Terrace Tunnel,” the affidavit alleges.
DeLuca, who had previously interned for former Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-N.Y.), was captured on footage entering the building through a shattered window and assisting in the removal of the table from the premises. As a result, she has been charged with three misdemeanors, namely theft of government property, disorderly conduct, and entering a restricted area.
