Christopher H. Keniley is a man from Greenfield, Massachusetts, who carried an American flag to the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021. Christopher traveled from western Massachusetts to Washington that day. Court records describe him inside the building for roughly ten minutes before he left the way he came, an American flag on a pole in hand. He was charged with misdemeanor offenses. On January 20, 2025, President Trump granted clemency to January 6 defendants, and Christopher Keniley of Greenfield was among the roughly 1,500 people pardoned. Case record: United States v. Christopher H. Keniley, 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.
