Daniel Goodwyn of Corinth, Texas, was 35 when his life turned on about sixty seconds. [FACT] By his own account he went to the Capitol on January 6, 2021, as a citizen journalist filming for an independent site, walked inside, was told to leave, and left in under a minute. [THEIR ACCOUNT / NEEDS AUTHENTICATION for exact timing] He pleaded guilty to entering the Capitol. [FACT: court record] After his plea, he told his story on national television in a March 2023 interview with Tucker Carlson — and for telling it, the judge placed him under computer-monitoring conditions, which Daniel called "Orwellian." Whatever you make of that, he never stopped speaking on the record. [FACT: Washington Examiner; news reporting] On January 20, 2025, President Trump granted clemency to January 6 defendants. [FACT] Receipts: - Washington Examiner interview and monitoring reporting - Fox News / Tucker Carlson interview (March 2023) - Government restitution/clawback reporting Case record: United States v. Goodwyn, No. 1:21-cr-153, U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. Arrested 1/29/21; indicted 2/24/21; pleaded guilty 1/31/23. This profile is unclaimed. If this is you — or your family — claiming it is free, forever.
