Pardoned January 6 defendant

Archive card · not a photograph

Charles Bradford Smith is serving out a sentence tied to January 6, after pleading guilty to conspiracy and weapon charges alongside a co-defendant, Marshall Neefe. By his own account, and that of his supporters, Smith had raised concerns as far back as 2020 about unrest in American cities and encouraged others to travel to Washington that day. That is his side of it, worth naming as his account, not as settled fact. The record itself stays serious here, because the record does not lie. Smith pleaded guilty to conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding and to assaulting, resisting, or impeding police while carrying a dangerous weapon. He was sentenced to 41 months in prison and 36 months of probation, plus $2,000 in restitution. On January 20, 2025, President Trump granted clemency covering the January 6 prosecutions.
