Jacob Travis Clark
January 6 defendant
Documented editorial-use imageJacob Travis Clark is a Colorado Springs, Colorado man who took the road most January 6 defendants did not: he declined a plea and put the government to its proof at trial. The legal fight (FACT, Colorado Sun / DOJ): at a bench trial on January 30, 2023, Jacob Travis Clark was found guilty of one felony — obstruction of an official proceeding — and five misdemeanors, and on October 30, 2023, he was sentenced to 33 months in prison and 12 months of supervised release. The felony rested on 18 U.S.C. § 1512(c)(2) — the very statute the U.S. Supreme Court later reined in with its June 2024 ruling in Fischer v. United States, which held prosecutors had applied that law too broadly in January 6 cases (FACT). On January 20, 2025, the presidential proclamation granted full pardons to individuals convicted of offenses relating to the events at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021 — Colorado's January 6 defendants among them (FACT, Colorado Newsline). Case record: Case No. 1:21-mj-279 (initial filing), U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia; bench trial before Judge Dabney L. Friedrich. This profile is unclaimed. If this is you — or your family — claiming it is free, forever.
