Ex-GOP Mayoral Candidate Gino DiGiovanni Jr. Pleads Guilty to Jan. 6 Charge

DiGiovanni, identified in Capitol riot footage, faces a misdemeanor charge and is expected to receive probation and a fine.

Gino DiGiovanni Jr., a former Republican mayoral candidate in Connecticut, has agreed to plead guilty to a misdemeanor charge in connection with the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol.
DiGiovanni was identified in an online video of the riot by a group of online tipsters who have aided in finding hundreds of people who invaded the Capitol.
DiGiovanni's attorney, Martin Minnella, expects DiGiovanni to receive probation and a fine at his plea deal agreement hearing.
DiGiovanni won the Republican primary, but lost his general election bid for the mayorship to incumbent Democrat Joseph DiMartino in Derby, Connecticut last month.
Judge James E. Boasberg, a federal judge in Washington, scheduled DiGiovanni's plea agreement hearing for Jan. 3, 2024.
