Nathan Bordeaux

January 6 defendant

Documented editorial-use image

**Nathan Bordeaux** is a Floyd County, Virginia man — the Blue Ridge Parkway highlands, a county of about 15,000 people known for fiddle music, farms and the Floyd Country Store. He was 40 years old when federal agents came for him on January 14, 2025. Read that date again. January 14, 2025. Six days before the clemency proclamation. **His story.** Bordeaux was one of the last January 6 arrests in America. Four years after January 6, 2021 — after more than 1,500 arrests, after the case list had already been called finished more than once — the government charged a man from a small mountain county in southwest Virginia, and six days later the whole federal January 6 program was wound down by presidential proclamation (FACT — WDBJ7, WSLS, WJLA and CBS19 coverage of his January 14, 2025 arrest; DOJ press release). Nobody should have to explain what that timing does to a family. He was never tried. He never had a chance to answer the charges in front of a jury. And under the January 20, 2025 proclamation, which directed the Justice Department to dismiss pending January 6 indictments, Nathan Bordeaux''s case never went to verdict. He had lived in Floyd County the entire four years. He was not hiding. He was found on Capitol surveillance footage, the same footage the government had all along. **Where the fight stands.** The charges against Nathan Bordeaux were allegations only — felony assault on officers and obstruction of law enforcement during a civil disorder, plus misdemeanors. Allegations are not convictions. There was no January 6 trial and no January 6 conviction. The clemency of January 20, 2025 covered pending cases, and the J6 pardon closed this one out days after it opened. In this archive, that record reads clean. **Case record.** United States District Court for the District of Columbia. Arrested January 14, 2025. Charged with assaulting, resisting, or impeding certain officers and obstruction of law enforcement during a civil disorder (felonies), plus entering and remaining in a restricted building or grounds, disorderly and disruptive conduct in a restricted building or grounds, disorderly conduct in a Capitol building, act of physical violence in the Capitol grounds or buildings, and parading, picketing, and demonstrating in a Capitol building. No conviction. Case resolved without trial following the January 20, 2025 clemency proclamation. (NEEDS AUTHENTICATION: docket number and the dismissal entry should be added from the D.D.C. record.)
