Treniss Jewell Evans III is a Canyon Lake, Texas businessman, husband and father who turned his own federal prosecution into a full time job helping other January 6 defendants get through theirs. Before 2021 that was the whole story. Texas native. Family man. Ran a business. HIS STORY Evans drove from Canyon Lake to Washington, D.C. on January 5, 2021. He is the man with the bright blue megaphone on the Capitol steps. [FACT: court filings, New Braunfels Herald-Zeitung.] On March 4, 2021, FBI agents came to his Comal County home to arrest him. Evans says his family, none of whom were in Washington, was put outside during the raid. [THEIR ACCOUNT: Condemned USA.] THE WORK HE BUILT AFTER Evans founded Condemned USA, a legal advocacy group for people facing what he calls politically driven prosecution. The organization says it has spoken with roughly 400 or more January 6 defendants and has provided financial and investigative help to many of them. [THEIR ACCOUNT: condemnedusa.com.] He hosts "The Case for America" on Real America's Voice and wrote the book "Call It Insurrection, Comrade: January 6th, None Dare Call It Justice." Retired U.S. Army Lieutenant General Michael T. Flynn provided the cover endorsement. [FACT: publisher listing.] After his own clemency, Evans went back to Washington to push for the release of January 6 defendants still in custody. [FACT: FOX 35 Orlando.] HIS LEGAL FIGHT Evans pleaded guilty on March 10, 2022 to one misdemeanor count of entering and remaining in a restricted building or grounds, 18 U.S.C. 1752(a)(1). On November 21, 2022 he was sentenced to 36 months of probation including 20 days of intermittent incarceration, a $5,000 fine and $500 restitution. He served the 20 days. On January 20, 2025 he was covered by the presidential clemency proclamation for January 6 cases. [FACT: U.S. Department of Justice; GWU Program on Extremism case filings.] SINCE JANUARY 6 Comal County, Texas booking records list an arrest of Treniss Jewell Evans III on February 5, 2025 for driving while intoxicated with an open alcohol container, booking number 379719, arresting agency Comal County SO/PD. [CHARGE ONLY / NEEDS AUTHENTICATION.] An arrest is not a conviction. The records reviewed show no outcome, and Evans is presumed innocent. This archive publishes the record as it stands.
