Honoured to have received pardon from President Trump, says Capitol attack charged social media influencer Isabella Maria DeLuca

A social media influencer, who was charged for her involvement in the 2021 Capitol attack, has said she felt honoured after Donald Trump granted her pardon.

Isabella Maria DeLuca was reportedly arrested in March 2024 over misdemeanour charges.

The 24-year-old Long Island native and former congressional intern was one of several rioters who allegedly passed a table from a US Senate terrace room to others outside the building that was then used against law enforcement, according to the feds as quoted by New York Post report.

Isabella Maria DeLuca wrote on X: "Last March, I was arrested by seven armed FBI agents, my apartment was raided, and my phone was seized."

"Tonight, I am honored to have received a pardon from President Trump," she said.

 US President Donald Trump has signed an executive order, hours after taking oath and reclaiming the presidency, to pardon nearly 1600 members of the mob that attacked the Capitol on January 6, 2021.

The attack marked an unprecedented episode in the history of the modern USA.

Four people died during the attack.

The mob, mostly Trump supporters, had stormed into the Capitol on January 6, an unsuccessful attempt by them to reverse his defeat to Joe Biden.

During the siege of the Capitol that day, over 140 police officers were assaulted—including over 80 from the U.S. Capitol Police and over 60 from the Washington, D.C. Metropolitan Police Department—the Capitol was damaged, government property was destroyed, and other government property was stolen, US Justice Department said in a statement.

"Current estimates are that losses arising from the Capitol siege exceed $2.8 million. In total, approximately 1,583 individuals have been charged criminally in federal court," the statement said.

Donald Trump became only the second President in US history, after Grover Cleveland in 1893, to return to power after being voted out of the White House.

Trump made history by replacing Joe Biden as the oldest President of the United States.
