The pair were allegedly identified using their clothing, jewelry, and the facial recognition software PimEyes.
Marocco was never charged with offenses related to the assault on the Capitol.
The Trump loyalist hada tumultuous careerin various foreign policy jobs during the presidents first administration.
Maroccoleft the agencyshortly after, and his return is doing little to temper the frustration of agency staff.
He hasnt been responsible for building anything ever.
Hes very good at turning things off and questioning things and making people feel uncomfortable.
Hes taken apart a lot of things, said another staffer.
Marocco isnt the only questionable Trump loyalist Rubio has brought into the State Department in the past few days.
Imagine having respect for the State Department, he wrote.
