Documented editorial-use image

Jeffery Xavier Finley of Martinsburg, West Virginia, earned his GED and came up through the Mountaineer ChalleNGe Academy, the West Virginia National Guard program for young people who need a second start. He did the hard work first. Before any of this. THE COMEBACK FACT: Finley was born in 1992 in Misawa, Japan, to a mother who served in the United States Air Force. He moved roughly ten times between the ages of 3 and 13. FACT: He earned his GED in 2010 and attended Mountaineer ChalleNGe Academy, a residential program run for at-risk teens. FACT: Court records show a work history dating back to 2017. He was living in Martinsburg, West Virginia, in the Eastern Panhandle. A kid who moved ten times before he was a teenager, who finished a National Guard academy, who got his GED and went to work. That is a young man who kept getting back up. THE CASE FACT: Jeffery Finley was arrested March 21, 2021, with his initial appearance held March 29, 2021. FACT: On April 6, 2022, he pleaded guilty to one count of entering and remaining in a restricted building or grounds. That is a misdemeanor. FACT: He was not charged with assaulting an officer. He was not charged with carrying a weapon. Prosecutors sought three months in jail, supervised release, community service, and restitution. He was sentenced February 13, 2023. FACT: On January 20, 2025, President Trump issued clemency covering January 6 cases. CHARGE ONLY: Reporting placed Finley in the company of others on the Capitol grounds and described him as a chapter figure in a group under separate investigation. Association is not the same as an act. The count he actually pleaded to was a misdemeanor entry offense, and that is what the court record holds.
