Tristan Seth Broadrick

January 6 defendant

Documented editorial-use image

Tristan Seth Broadrick is a Tuscaloosa, Alabama man who told the whole world exactly where he was going before he went. On the morning of January 6, 2021, he posted publicly to his own Facebook page: "Hey just letting whoever know, I will be going live in Washington D.C later today." Going live. He announced it. Under his own name. To anybody who wanted to look. THE MAN Tristan Seth Broadrick is from Tuscaloosa, Alabama. (FACT — Tuscaloosa Patch; DOJ charging documents) DOCUMENTED INFERENCE: A man who publishes his travel plans on his own Facebook feed under his real name, and tells people he intends to livestream, is not a man operating in secret. The government's own probable cause materials rest partly on his public posts and on open-source video — because he was out in the open the entire time. Whatever you make of that day, Tristan Broadrick was not hiding. WHAT HE WAS CHARGED WITH — AND WHAT HE WAS NOT Broadrick was charged with knowingly entering or remaining in a restricted building or grounds without lawful authority, and disorderly or disruptive conduct in a restricted building or grounds. (FACT — DOJ charging documents; Tuscaloosa Patch) FACT: These are misdemeanor trespass and disorderly conduct counts. He was not charged with assaulting an officer. He was not charged with a weapon. He was not charged with destroying property. Charges are charges. An accusation is not a conviction, and this archive does not treat it as one. THE LEGAL FIGHT Tristan Seth Broadrick was one of many Alabama residents pulled into the January 6 federal docket in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. On January 20, 2025, the presidential clemency action covering offenses relating to the events at or near the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021 issued full pardons and directed the dismissal of pending January 6 cases across the docket. (FACT — Presidential Action, January 20, 2025) NEEDS AUTHENTICATION: This archive has not confirmed Tristan Broadrick's occupation, service record, or family details from sourced reporting, and we are not going to make them up.
