Aaron Mostofsky
January 6 defendant
Documented editorial-use imageAaron Mostofsky is a New Yorker — a Brooklyn native and the son of a New York judge — who became one of the most recognized faces of January 6, 2021. Aaron came to Washington that day and was photographed inside the Capitol in fur pelts, an image that news outlets ran around the world. Behind the headlines is a young man from a well-known Brooklyn family who walked into the biggest moment of his life. In February 2022, Aaron Mostofsky pleaded guilty. He was sentenced to eight months, followed by 12 months of supervised release, 200 hours of community service, and restitution. On January 20, 2025, President Trump granted clemency to January 6 defendants — a sweeping act of pardons and commutations that brought this chapter to a close for Aaron and hundreds of others. Case record: United States v. Aaron Mostofsky, No. 1:21-cr-138, U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. This profile is unclaimed. If this is you — or your family — claiming it is free, forever.
