Logan James Barnhart

Pardoned January 6 defendant

Documented editorial-use image

Logan James Barnhart is a Michigan pipelayer, construction work and hard labor, who also competed as a bodybuilder before his January 6 case. FACT: On January 6, he was part of the confrontation on the Capitol's Lower West Terrace and was charged with assaulting an officer with a dangerous weapon and aiding and abetting, along with civil disorder. He pleaded guilty to those charges after being identified through his own Instagram posts (HuffPost). THEIR ACCOUNT: What he did next matters. Logan wrote a letter to the Capitol Police officer involved, Officer Morris Moore, offering, in his own words, his deepest and most sincere apology, and describing the depression and anxiety that followed, according to court filings quoted by CBS News and NBC News. That is not the letter of a man proud of what happened. FACT: He was sentenced to three years in prison in early 2023. Coverage of his sentencing noted his day job as a pipelayer and his side work modeling for romance novel covers, an unusual detail national outlets picked up on, but the case itself turned on the assault charge and the letter he wrote afterward. FACT: On January 20, 2025, President Trump granted clemency to January 6 defendants. FACT: Court filings in his case, cited by CBS News and NBC News, describe the officer's own account of the confrontation on the terrace alongside Logan's later letter, both placed in the sentencing record for the judge to weigh together. WHERE THINGS STAND: A working man who did wrong, said so plainly to the person he wronged, and served his time before clemency closed the case. CASE RECORD Case No. 1:21-cr-35, U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. Arrested August 17, 2021. Pleaded guilty September 28, 2022. Sentenced to three years in prison. Covered by the January 20, 2025 clemency proclamation. This profile is unclaimed. If this is you, or your family, claiming it is free, forever.
