who served in the U.S. Army reserves and held security clearance, was sentenced on Thursday to four years in prison for his part in storming the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. A former security guard at a New Jersey naval station, where he had “access to a variety of munitions,” according to court documents, Hale-Cusanelli was arrested less than two weeks after the insurrection.
During his trial, he tried to convince a jury that he’d had no idea that Congress met at the Capitol. “I know this sounds idiotic, but I’m from New Jersey,” Hale-Cusanelli said. “I feel like an idiot, it sounds idiotic, and it is.” On Thursday, U.S. District Judge Trevor McFadden called this a “risible lie” and an “obvious attempt” to duck responsibility.
