Chadwick Gordon Clifton
Pardoned January 6 defendant
Chadwick Gordon Clifton is a handyman from Summerville, South Carolina. He made his living with his hands — property maintenance work out of Mount Pleasant. A working man. (FACT: The Post and Courier) On January 6, 2021, he went to Washington. He was never accused of hurting anyone or breaking anything. Every charge in his case was a misdemeanor: entering a restricted building, disorderly conduct, and parading. (FACT: DOJ; WPDE) He owned it. He pleaded guilty on October 13, 2022. The court saw a probation case, not a prison case: 36 months of probation with conditions, a $500 fine, and $500 restitution. (FACT: DOJ; ABC News 4) On January 20, 2025, the presidential clemency proclamation covered January 6 cases like his. (FACT) THE CASE RECORD Case No. 1:22-cr-182, U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. Initially filed as Case # 1:22-mj-109. Complaint filed 5/16/22. Arrested 5/20/22.
