David Walls-Kaufman
Pardoned January 6 defendant
Documented editorial-use imageDavid Walls-Kaufman was 69 on January 6 — a chiropractor who lived and practiced just a few blocks from the Capitol in Washington, D.C. FACT: In his criminal case he pleaded guilty to a single misdemeanor — parading, demonstrating, or picketing in a Capitol building — and served a 60-day sentence. No felony. No assault conviction. (NBC News.) FACT: On January 20, 2025, President Trump granted clemency to January 6 defendants, and David was among those pardoned. (NBC News.) NEEDS AUTHENTICATION / THEIR ACCOUNT: In a separate civil lawsuit brought by the widow of Metropolitan Police Officer Jeffrey Smith, a jury returned a money verdict against him. David has consistently denied assaulting Officer Smith, saying the officer's injury came later in the day from a pole thrown by someone else. (The Hill; Daily Beast.) A civil verdict is not a criminal conviction, and his denial stands on the record alongside it. Nearly 70 years old, a lifelong healer by trade. The court record is stated plainly above; his own account is his to expand. THE RECORD Case No. 1:22-mj-130, U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. Complaint filed 06/07/2022. Arrested 06/08/2022. Pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor; served 60 days. Pardoned 01/20/2025. This profile is unclaimed. If this is you — or your family — claiming it is free, forever.
