‘Two mins in the Capitol left me facing a year in jail — I had tears of joy when Trump won’: January 6th ‘rioter’ reveals all

Isabella Maria DeLuca , 24 , is a social media influencer originally from Setauket , NY , who went to the Capitol in Washington DC on Jan. 6, 2021 .

She says she stayed only two minutes before deciding to leave as she started to feel uncomfortable.

Three years later she was arrested on federal misdemeanor charges — including theft of government property, disorderly conduct, and entering a restricted area.

On November 6 , the day before the election, the FBI came to me with a plea deal.

They wanted me to plead guilty to theft of government property and to pay a $ 100,000 fine.

I felt sick to my stomach because it was so close to the election and I didn't know which way things would go.

My first reaction when I heard President Trump had pardoned us was tears of joy.
