Brian Scott Jackson

Pardoned January 6 defendant

Documented editorial-use image

Brian Scott Jackson is from Katy, Texas, and one of the January 6 defendants whose sentence was cut short by clemency. FACT: He traveled to Washington with his brother, Adam Lejay Jackson, to protest the certification. The two were arrested together in Texas on June 7, 2022, and their cases ran side by side (DOJ, WUSA9, Spectrum News). Whatever else is true, this was a family that showed up together and went through it together. FACT: Prosecutors originally charged Brian with weapon-enhanced felony counts. On February 28, 2024, he pleaded guilty to a lesser felony count, assaulting, resisting, or impeding officers, without the weapon enhancement (DOJ, NPR Jan. 6 archive). FACT: On August 6, 2024, Judge Rudolph Contreras sentenced him to 37 months in prison, 36 months of supervised release, 60 hours of community service, and $2,000 restitution (DOJ, Houston Public Media). His brother Adam, who pleaded to the weapon-enhanced count, was sentenced separately to 36 months probation with intermittent weekend confinement, a lighter outcome for a different plea. FACT: His case was tracked by supporter directories, including American Gulag, while it was pending (americangulag.org). WHERE THINGS STAND: On January 20, 2025, the clemency proclamation covered his case, months into that 37-month sentence, and he was released. CASE RECORD Case No. 1:22-mj-127 (later 1:22-cr-00127), U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. Charge of conviction: assaulting, resisting, or impeding certain officers (felony). Complaint filed: June 2, 2022. Arrested: June 7, 2022. Pleaded guilty: February 28, 2024. Sentenced: August 6, 2024, to 37 months incarceration, 36 months supervised release, 60 hours community service, $2,000 restitution. Clemency: full pardon, January 20, 2025.
