An Arizona Republican congressman hired a woman who participated in the Jan. 6 insurrection while she was under investigation for breaching the U.S. Capitol and helping others obtain impromptu weapons that day.
U.S. Rep. Paul Gosar hired Isabella Maria DeLuca as an intern in late 2022, well after she had already been contacted by the FBI and was currently under investigation. DeLuca worked for Gosar from Sept. 12, 2022, to Jan. 30, 2023, according to congressional pay data.
In a recently unsealed indictment, the FBI accuses DeLuca of breaching the Capitol and handing out pieces of a broken table to rioters outside the building, who went on to use them as weapons against police in an area that became known for its violent clashes.
Gosars congressional office confirmed that DeLuca worked as an intern but said they had no knowledge of her participation in Jan. 6 or that she was under investigation.
