Evan Neumann
January 6 defendant
Documented editorial-use imageEvan Neumann is a businessman from Mill Valley, California, whose January 6 case became one of the most extraordinary in the entire docket, because it was never tried at all. FACT: Evan Neumann was charged by indictment on December 10, 2021, with multiple counts, including assault allegations. A charge is an allegation, not a conviction, and Neumann has never been convicted of anything related to January 6. THEIR ACCOUNT: Neumann has said publicly that he attended January 6 but broke no laws. FACT: Rather than face trial, Neumann sold his Mill Valley home, left the United States, crossed Europe, and walked into Belarus from Ukraine. In March 2022, Belarus granted him political asylum, making Evan Neumann one of the first Americans ever granted refugee status there, a story covered by NPR, Forbes, and CBS San Francisco. FACT: On January 20, 2025, the January 6 clemency proclamation directed the dismissal of pending January 6 prosecutions, covering cases like this one. Case record: United States v. Neumann, No. 1:21-mj-331-GMH, U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. Indicted December 10, 2021. This profile is unclaimed. If this is you, or your family, claiming it is free, forever.
