Nicholas John Lattanzi

Pardoned January 6 defendant

Documented editorial-use image

Nicholas John Lattanzi is from Millsboro, Delaware, and was 24 when he pleaded guilty to a single January 6 misdemeanor, later pardoned in 2025. FACT (FBI affidavit): agents first noticed Lattanzi after he asked his TikTok followers in December 2020, "Who wants to commit war crimes in Bosnia with me?" On January 6, 2021, photos on his TikTok account showed him near the Capitol wearing a paper Burger King crown, a cowboy hat, and a white flag tied around his shoulders as a cape. He initially told agents he'd only come to Washington "to support my President," then two weeks later said he had in fact gone inside and provided his own photos. The FBI says he was in the building about five minutes. FACT: he pleaded guilty to demonstrating in the Capitol, a single misdemeanor, and was sentenced to 14 days, a $500 fine, and $500 restitution. No violence and no weapon were ever charged against Nicholas Lattanzi. Nicholas John Lattanzi's case is one of the more colorful entries in the record, and this archive tells it straight rather than for laughs: a young man from a small Delaware town, a social-media trail that did the FBI's work for them, and an honest reckoning once agents came calling. He is from Millsboro, Delaware, and that is still home. WHERE THINGS STAND: a young man, a costume, a short walk through the building, and a record kept straight. On January 20, 2025, President Trump's clemency proclamation for January 6 defendants covered his case. CASE RECORD Case 1:22-cr-28, U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. Complaint filed 1/10/22; arrested 1/11/22; information filed 1/20/22; pleaded guilty 8/30/22; sentenced 12/9/22 to 14 days, $500 fine, $500 restitution. Clemency 1/20/2025. This profile is unclaimed.
