Daniel Egtvedt
Pardoned January 6 defendant
Documented editorial-use imageDaniel Dean Egtvedt of Oakland, Maryland, deep in rural Garrett County, was 59 at the time of his January 6 trial. [FACT] Here is a fact the loud headlines mostly skipped: he was tried, and the judge acquitted him of the two counts of physical violence, ruling that the government had NOT shown he assaulted any officer. That is not spin, that is the court's own finding on the record. [FACT: court record; WUSA9] He was convicted of other counts, including obstruction and resisting removal from the building, and sentenced to 42 months. We state that plainly and we go no further than the record. [FACT] Daniel has said he felt like a pawn in something far bigger than himself. Believe it or not, it is his account, and he has a right to be heard. [THEIR ACCOUNT] On January 20, 2025, President Trump granted clemency to January 6 defendants. [FACT] Receipts: - DOJ press releases (verdict and sentencing) - WUSA9 coverage noting the assault acquittal - Baltimore Sun and CBS Baltimore trial coverage Case record: United States v.
