Luke Hoffman — Dover, Kentucky. Husband. Father of eight. Start here: Luke and his wife Kari are raising eight children, six of them still minors. He built a contracting business with his own hands. That is the man behind the case number. THEIR ACCOUNT: The family says what began as a trip to Washington to stand for their constitutional rights turned their lives upside down. They describe an FBI raid on their Kentucky home, and a pregnancy shadowed by the fear of Luke being taken away. Their contracting business collapsed and the family fell into serious financial hardship. (These are the family's own words, shared through their fundraiser and supporting coverage.) FACT (court record): Luke pleaded guilty to two felony counts of assaulting, resisting, or impeding officers. He was sentenced to 20 months in prison, 36 months of supervised release, and $2,000 restitution. Charges are charges; the plea is the plea. FACT: On January 20, 2025, President Trump granted clemency to January 6 defendants, and Luke came home to his family. A father of eight trying to rebuild a business and keep a roof over his kids. His family is asking for help, and that ask is real. HOW TO HELP: The Hoffman family fundraiser is linked on this profile.
