John Walter Clark IV is a Culpeper, Virginia man — a Piedmont Virginian whose January 6 case never produced a conviction of any kind. FACT: Clark, then 36, was charged by criminal complaint with felony counts of assaulting, resisting, or impeding officers and civil disorder, along with four misdemeanor counts. Charges are charges — allegations in a complaint, never tested at trial, never proven. John Walter Clark IV was not convicted of anything in this case. FACT: On January 20, 2025, President Trump's clemency proclamation pardoned January 6 defendants and directed dismissal of pending cases. DOCUMENTED INFERENCE: Clark's pending case was covered by that proclamation, closing it without a conviction. CASE RECORD — U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. Charged via criminal complaint; case resolved under the 1/20/2025 presidential proclamation. Sources linked on this profile. This profile is unclaimed.
