Greg Rubenacker
Pardoned January 6 defendant
Documented editorial-use imageGreg Rubenacker is a DJ and music producer from Farmingdale, on Long Island, New York, a young artist in his mid-twenties when January 6 put his name in the national headlines. FACT: In February 2022, Greg Rubenacker did something almost no other January 6 defendant did: he rejected the government's plea deal and instead pleaded guilty to every single one of the ten counts against him, including the felonies, accepting responsibility for the whole indictment, as covered by WUSA9 and Law & Crime. FACT: On May 22, 2022, he was sentenced to 41 months in prison, three years of supervised release, and $2,000 restitution. The court record includes confrontations with police inside the building; charges and convictions are what the record states, nothing more. FACT: On January 20, 2025, Greg Rubenacker was covered by the full January 6 clemency proclamation, ending his sentence. Case record: United States v. Rubenacker, No. 1:21-cr-193, U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. Arrested February 9, 2021. This profile is unclaimed. If this is you, or your family, claiming it is free, forever.
