Pardons & Commutations

Bryan Betancur, of Silver Spring, Maryland, a self-described white supremacist who aspired to join the Proud Boys and wore a Proud Boys shirt under his jacket, met with members of the group before walking to the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, where he helped rioters remove furniture from inside the building while wearing a court-ordered GPS monitor from a separate case. He pleaded guilty to entering a restricted building and was sentenced to four months in prison, one year of supervised release, and $500 in restitution.

Lang was never tried or convicted on any of his January 6 charges. He was indicted on 11 federal counts in the District of Columbia stemming from the January 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol. Charges included three counts of civil disorder (18 U.S.C. § 231(a)(3)); assault on federal officers (18 U.S.C. § 111(a)(1)); two counts of assault on federal officers using a dangerous weapon — a baseball bat and a stolen police shield (18 U.S.C. §§ 111(a)(1) and (b)); obstruction of an official proceeding (18 U.S.C. § 1512(c)(2)); disorderly and disruptive conduct in a restricted building with a deadly weapon (18 U.S.C. § 1752(a)(2)); engaging in physical violence in a restricted building with a deadly weapon (18 U.S.C. § 1752(a)(4)); and disorderly conduct and physical violence in a Capitol building (40 U.S.C. § 5104). Lang pleaded not guilty to all counts. Trump's blanket pardon on January 20, 2025 dismissed all charges before the case went to trial.

Federal (J6): Obstruction of an Official Proceeding; Entering and/or Remaining in a Restricted Building or Grounds; Disorderly and Disruptive Conduct in a Restricted Building or Grounds; Disorderly Conduct in a Capitol Building; Parading, Demonstrating, or Picketing in a Capitol Building (J6 counts dismissed February 12, 2025). Separate charges (not J6): Possession of an Unregistered Firearm; Carrying a Pistol Without a License (2 counts); Possession of a Large Capacity Ammunition Feeding Device; Unlawful Possession of Ammunition; False Information and Hoaxes.

On January 6, 2021, Moynihan entered the Senate floor of the Capitol. Video captured inside showed him reviewing and photographing official congressional documents believed to detail objections and votes on the certification of electoral results, while standing on the Senate dais. He can be heard on video saying "There's got to be something we can use against these f***ing scumbags." Two witnesses subsequently identified him to the FBI. He was convicted at a stipulated bench trial on August 23, 2022 of obstruction of an official proceeding, and pleaded guilty on the same date to five additional counts: entering and remaining in a restricted building, disorderly and disruptive conduct in a restricted building, entering and remaining on the floor of Congress, disorderly conduct in a Capitol building, and parading, demonstrating, or picketing in a Capitol building.

Andrew Paul Johnson entered the U.S. Capitol through a broken window during the Jan. 6, 2021 riot and cursed at police officers. He pleaded guilty in April 2024 to nonviolent charges. He was sentenced on 8/22/2024 to 12 months of incarceration, 12 months of supervised release, $500 in restitution, and a $2,336 fine; he was later pardoned for the Jan. 6 case by President Trump, but was separately convicted in Florida of unrelated child sexual abuse offenses committed after his pardon and sentenced to life in prison.

Jonathan Braun, from Long Island, New York, was a high-ranking member of an international drug trafficking organization that smuggled more than 100,000 kilograms of marijuana from Canada into the United States using boats and private planes. At the height of the operation, prosecutors estimated the network moved more than $6 million worth of marijuana per week. Braun laundered approximately $14 million in drug proceeds through the scheme. In November 2011, Braun pleaded guilty in federal court in Brooklyn (Eastern District of New York) to conspiracy to import 1,000 kilograms or more of marijuana and conspiracy to launder drug proceeds. However, for reasons that remained sealed, his sentencing was delayed for nearly eight years. During that time — while free on bail — Braun built a significant presence in the "merchant cash advance" industry, a form of short-term business lending that critics describe as predatory. Alongside that business, he ran an illegal loan-sharking operation, and was separately convicted of extortion for using violence and threats against debtors who failed to repay. He was finally sentenced on May 28, 2019.

Andrew Quentin Taake, of Houston, Texas, brought bear spray and a metal whip-like weapon to Trump's rally and was among the first rioters to force his way onto the U.S. Capitol grounds during the Jan. 6, 2021 riot; at about 1:16 p.m. he was captured on Metropolitan Police body-worn camera footage pepper-spraying a line of officers trying to hold back the crowd, then struck officers with the whip-like weapon, and reached over the heads of other rioters to spray officers with bear spray a fourth time at about 1:30 p.m. He was identified after bragging about his role in the riot to a woman on the dating app Bumble, who reported him to the FBI. He pleaded guilty before U.S. District Judge Carl J. Nichols to one felony charge, assaulting, resisting, or impeding certain officers using a dangerous weapon, with other charges, including obstruction of an official proceeding, dismissed.

Zachary Jordan Alam, of Centreville, Virginia, attended President Trump's "Stop the Steal" rally before joining the Jan. 6, 2021 breach of the Capitol, where he helped other rioters scale barriers, threw a velvet rope from a balcony at police, and attempted to kick in a fourth-floor door. Alam then smashed the glass panes of the Speaker's Lobby doors with a helmet just before Ashli Babbitt attempted to climb through the opening and was fatally shot by a Capitol Police officer. He was convicted of eight felonies and three misdemeanors and sentenced to eight years in prison, 36 months of supervised release, and $4,484 in restitution; he had served roughly four years when he was released under the pardon.

Enrique Tarrio served as national chairman of the Proud Boys, a far-right extremist group, from 2018 to 2021. Federal prosecutors charged him as the principal architect of a months-long conspiracy to prevent the certification of the 2020 presidential election results. In late 2020, Tarrio and other Proud Boys leaders created a secretive chapter called the "Ministry of Self Defense," which prosecutors said was organized specifically to plan the January 6 attack. In December 2020, Tarrio stole and burned a Black Lives Matter banner from a Washington, D.C. church; he was arrested for that offense on January 4, 2021, ordered to leave the city, and met with Oath Keepers founder Stewart Rhodes in a parking garage on January 5 before departing for Baltimore. Though Tarrio was not physically present at the Capitol on January 6, prosecutors alleged he directed operations remotely, posting to social media that he was "Proud of My Boys" as Proud Boys members stormed the building. He was convicted at trial on May 4, 2023 on six counts: seditious conspiracy, conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding, obstruction of an official proceeding and aiding and abetting, conspiracy to prevent an officer from discharging duties, civil disorder, and destruction of government property.

Pleaded guilty to wire fraud and aggravated identity theft. Also admitted to conspiracy against the United States, credit card fraud, and money laundering as part of his plea agreement.

Conspiracy to import cocaine into the United States, and two firearms offenses (possession of machine guns and destructive devices). As two-term President of Honduras from 2014 to 2022, Hernández participated in a corrupt drug-trafficking conspiracy spanning approximately 2004 through 2022. He accepted millions of dollars in bribes from major trafficking organisations — including a $1 million contribution from Sinaloa Cartel leader Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán, personally delivered in 2013 to finance his presidential campaign — in exchange for using his presidential powers to shield drug traffickers from investigation and prosecution. Hernández and his co-conspirators are estimated to have facilitated the movement of more than 400 tons of cocaine destined for the United States through Honduras. A ledger seized from drug trafficker Nery Orlando López listed $440,000 in payments to "JOH y su gente" (JOH and his associates). His brother, Honduran congressman Tony Hernández, had already been convicted in the same trafficking network in 2019 and sentenced to life plus 30 years in 2021. Prosecutors described Juan Orlando Hernández as "one of the most culpable defendants ever prosecuted in the United States." He was convicted by a unanimous jury on March 8, 2024, following a three-week trial in the Southern District of New York before U.S. District Judge P. Kevin Castel. He had been extradited from Honduras — where he was arrested at US request in February 2022 — on April 21, 2022, weeks after leaving office.

Ben Delo was a co-founder, COO, and Chief Strategy Officer of BitMEX, a cryptocurrency derivatives exchange. He pleaded guilty to one count of willfully failing to establish, implement, and maintain an anti-money laundering (AML) program at BitMEX, in violation of the Bank Secrecy Act. From approximately 2015 to 2020, BitMEX knowingly served US customers without identity verification or know-your-customer (KYC) checks, allowed customers from Iran and other sanctioned jurisdictions to trade on the platform, and failed to file any suspicious activity reports — even after being notified by federal authorities that the platform was being used to launder proceeds from a cryptocurrency hack.

Convicted for his role in the January 6 Capitol attack; separately convicted of possession of an unregistered firearm and being a felon in possession of a firearm for crimes unrelated to January 6

Banuelos was never tried or convicted on his January 6 charges. He was charged in March 2024 — more than three years after the Capitol attack — on four federal felony counts: civil disorder (18 U.S.C. § 231(a)(3)), entering and remaining in a restricted building with a deadly or dangerous weapon, carrying a firearm on Capitol grounds, and discharging a firearm on Capitol grounds, plus a misdemeanor count of disorderly conduct in a Capitol building. Federal prosecutors alleged that on January 6, 2021, Banuelos kicked metal barricades, made finger-gun gestures at officers, pushed against the police line while revealing a firearm in his waistband, and at approximately 2:34 p.m. climbed the inaugural stage scaffolding, fired two shots into the air, holstered his gun, and descended back into the crowd. He was the only January 6 defendant charged with firing a gun on Capitol grounds. Banuelos pleaded not guilty to all counts and was held in pretrial detention. Trump's blanket pardon on January 20, 2025 dismissed all charges before trial.

Edward Kelley, of Maryville, Tennessee, traveled to Washington, D.C. on January 5, 2021, at the request of his pastor. According to prosecutors, video evidence showed Kelley helping to throw a U.S. Capitol Police officer to the ground, pushing against metal barricades, breaching a window with a piece of wood, and being directly confronted by Capitol Police Officer Eugene Goodman — the officer who famously led rioters away from the Senate chamber. Kelley spent approximately 40 minutes inside the Capitol, including time in the Senate gallery and the rotunda. When interviewed by the FBI in June 2021, he denied entering the building. He was arrested in May 2022. Following a bench trial beginning October 28, 2024, Kelley was found guilty on November 8, 2024 on ten counts including civil disorder, assaulting a law enforcement officer, destruction of government property (two counts), entering restricted grounds, and disorderly conduct. He was acquitted on the obstruction of an official proceeding charge.

Matthew Huttle, of Hebron, Indiana, traveled to Washington, D.C. with his uncle Dale Huttle for the January 6, 2021 "Stop the Steal" rally. According to court documents, as the pair marched toward the Capitol, Matthew declared "We're going to see if we can get inside!" and later "We're going to have to go up the side . . . . Cops, a lot of cops." Matthew entered the Capitol building and remained inside for approximately 16 minutes, recording video on his phone, before both Huttles remained on Capitol grounds until after 5:00 p.m. He was charged on twelve counts alongside his uncle. Huttle pleaded guilty in July 2023 to entering and remaining in a restricted building or grounds.

Daniel Ball, of Homosassa, Florida, was the only January 6 defendant charged with setting off an explosive device during the Capitol attack. According to court documents, Ball entered the Capitol through the Senate Wing door at 3:29 p.m. on January 6, 2021. While inside, he pried a large wooden piece from a window shutter before exiting the building. He then joined other rioters on the Lower West Terrace, where he worked with others to push against police officers attempting to block entry to the building. When that effort failed, Ball moved back into the crowd and threw an explosive device into the entranceway. An FBI explosives examiner determined the device was capable of inflicting property damage and serious injury; several officers were injured. Ball was indicted in May 2023 on eleven counts, including assaulting officers with a deadly or dangerous weapon, using an explosive to commit a felony, obstruction of law enforcement during a civil disorder, and theft of government property. He pleaded not guilty to all charges.

David Paul Daniel, of Mint Hill, North Carolina, traveled to Washington, D.C. for the January 6, 2021 "Stop the Steal" rally. According to court documents, at approximately 2:46 p.m. Daniel moved to the front of the crowd at the Senate Wing Door, where Capitol Police officers were using a heavy wooden barricade to block rioters from entering the building. Daniel and another rioter thrust their arms into the barricade and forcefully pushed it against the officers on the other side. About a minute later, the officers were overwhelmed and rioters swarmed into the hallway. Daniel then climbed through a broken window, re-entered the Capitol through another broken window nearby, walked through the Small House Rotunda and the Capitol Crypt, and exited through a broken window at approximately 3:04 p.m. He pleaded guilty on January 8, 2025 to a felony charge of assaulting, resisting, or impeding certain officers.

Joseph Martin Pastucci, 50, traveled with co-defendant Jeanette Mangia from New Cumberland, Pennsylvania to the Jan. 6, 2021 "Stop the Steal" rally, then entered the U.S. Capitol through the Senate Wing door during the riot that followed and made his way into House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's office suite; after being ejected from the building and watching Mangia also removed, he shoved a U.S. Capitol Police officer in the chest and shoulder. He pleaded not guilty to all charges; found guilty in a stipulated bench trial on 4/26/2024 of nearly all counts, the court on 9/30/2024 vacated that verdict, and he then pleaded guilty to one charge, assaulting officers. U.S. District Judge Beryl A. Howell sentenced him on 12/20/2024 to 26 months of incarceration, 36 months of supervised release, and $2,000 in restitution.

Kyle Travis Colton, of Citrus Heights, California, was identified after a Delta Airlines passenger seated next to him on a January 7, 2021 flight reported that he had bragged about being part of the "second wave" of rioters inside the U.S. Capitol the day before, a claim corroborated by CCTV footage showing him inside and outside the building among a group confronting law enforcement during the Jan. 6, 2021 riot; he was indicted on five charges on December 13, 2023. He pleaded guilty to one charge related to his conduct at the Capitol. Before he could be sentenced, the court granted the government's motion to dismiss the case with prejudice on 1/21/2025, a day after the Jan. 20, 2025 pardon proclamation, so no sentence was imposed.

Peter Schwartz, 49, threw the first folding chair at police during the Jan. 6, 2021 riot, an act prosecutors said opened the police line and allowed hundreds of rioters to overwhelm officers; he then found an abandoned Metropolitan Police Department pepper spray canister and used it on officers, forcing them to retreat and don gas masks, before finding and using a second can of pepper spray against them. He pleaded not guilty to all charges; a jury found him guilty on all ten counts in December 2022, including four felony counts of assaulting, resisting, or impeding officers with a dangerous weapon. He was sentenced on 5/5/2023 to 170 months of incarceration, 36 months of supervised release, a $920 special assessment, and $2,000 in restitution — at the time the longest sentence handed down in a Jan. 6 case; the obstruction conviction was later vacated on 1/17/2025.

Ryan Taylor Nichols, of Longview, Texas, traveled to Washington, D.C. on January 5, 2021 with co-defendant Alex Kirk Harkrider after exchanging messages about bringing body armor and firearms, warning Harkrider that "Washington will be a warzone" and there was a "big possibility that actual battle goes down." Both men wore body armor to the Capitol; Nichols carried a crowbar, Harkrider a tactical tomahawk axe. At the Lower West Terrace tunnel, Nichols helped push the crowd against the police line and took a canister of pepper spray from the crowd, spraying it directly at officers. He and Harkrider then entered the Capitol through a broken window, where Nichols brandished his crowbar and used a bullhorn to call other rioters inside, shouting "This is the second revolution" and "This is not a peaceful protest." That night, in a video posted to Facebook, Nichols declared, "So, yes, I'm calling for violence! ... Ryan Nichols stands for violence." He was arrested on January 18, 2021, and pleaded guilty to obstruction of an official proceeding and assaulting, resisting, or impeding certain officers.

Federal: Civil Disorder (2 counts); Obstruction of an Official Proceeding; Assaulting, Resisting, or Impeding Certain Officers (2 counts); Assaulting, Resisting, or Impeding Certain Officers Using a Dangerous Weapon; Entering and/or Remaining in a Restricted Building or Grounds with a Deadly or Dangerous Weapon; Disorderly and Disruptive Conduct in a Restricted Building or Grounds with a Deadly or Dangerous Weapon; Engaging in Physical Violence in a Restricted Building or Grounds with a Deadly or Dangerous Weapon; Disorderly Conduct in a Capitol Building; Act of Physical Violence in the Capitol Grounds or Buildings. Jury found him guilty on all charges on May 5, 2023.

Theodore Middendorf, 36, of McLeansboro, Illinois, made arrangements with co-defendant Justin LaGesse in December 2020 to travel to Washington, D.C., then entered the U.S. Capitol at about 2:51 p.m. through a broken window next to the Senate Wing Door during the Jan. 6, 2021 riot after LaGesse helped him climb through; the pair then struck a large Capitol window with their flagpoles, causing over \$41,000 in damage, before moving through the Crypt and the Hall of Columns and leaving through a south-side door. He was arrested on January 17, 2024 and pleaded guilty to one felony charge, destruction of government property, with other charges, including engaging in physical violence and parading, demonstrating, or picketing in a Capitol building, dismissed.

Adam Avery Honeycutt, 40, a former Florida bail bondsman, entered the U.S. Capitol during the Jan. 6, 2021 riot and posted videos of himself inside to Facebook, at one point turning the camera on himself to say, "Well, made it in." He pleaded guilty in March to a misdemeanor charge for breaching the Capitol.

Adrian Christian Schmidt, 26, of Cincinnati, Ohio, traveled to Washington, D.C. for the Jan. 6, 2021 rally and, at about 12:50 p.m., joined a crowd pushing against a line of barricades manned by U.S. Capitol Police near the Peace Circle Monument, contributing to the breach of the outer perimeter; he then moved to the front of the mob gathered at a black metal fence on the West Plaza, jumped the fence as the crowd surged forward, and again pushed to the front to confront a line of officers. He pleaded guilty to one felony charge, civil disorder. He was sentenced on 11/5/2025 to 14 months of incarceration, 36 months of supervised release, and $2,000 in restitution.

Alan Michael St. Onge, 35, of Brevard, North Carolina, participated in breaching the police barricade on the U.S. Capitol's east plaza before moving to the Lower West Terrace tunnel during the Jan. 6, 2021 riot, where he repeatedly pushed against the police line and received a stolen Capitol Police riot shield passed to him by another rioter in the crowd. He pleaded guilty to two felony charges, both civil disorder. He was sentenced on 7/9/2024 to 18 months of incarceration, 36 months of supervised release, $2,000 in restitution, and a $200 special assessment.

Alexander Bennett Sheppard, 24, of Powell, Ohio, was among the first rioters to overrun multiple police lines and enter the U.S. Capitol during the Jan. 6, 2021 riot, then ran to the Speaker's Lobby doors and screamed at the Capitol Police officers guarding them as House members and staff evacuated behind the officers, recording video of fleeing lawmakers and other rioters punching out window glass inches from the officers' heads before leaving after witnessing a rioter shot by police; at trial, his attorney unsuccessfully argued that Trump had given him legal permission to enter the building. He pleaded not guilty to all charges; a jury found him guilty on 1/26/2023 of five charges, including felony obstruction of an official proceeding, and not guilty of entering the floor of Congress. He was sentenced on 9/5/2023 to 19 months of incarceration, 24 months of supervised release, a $170 special assessment, a $1,000 fine, and $2,000 in restitution.

The appointees received official Culpeper County Sheriff's Office badges and credentials despite being unvetted and untrained, and rendered no legitimate services. Evidence at trial included two undercover FBI agents who were sworn in as auxiliary deputies in 2022 and immediately handed Jenkins envelopes containing $5,000 and $10,000 in cash.

Seditious conspiracy and other charges related to January 6 Capitol attack

Pete Rose, baseball's all-time hits leader with 4,256 career hits, was banned from professional baseball for life in August 1989 by Commissioner Bart Giamatti following an investigation that found he had bet on Cincinnati Reds games while serving as the team's manager — including games in which the Reds were participating. The following year, in 1990, Rose pleaded guilty in federal court to two counts of tax evasion, having filed false income tax returns and failed to report substantial income earned from autograph signings and memorabilia sales. He served five months in federal prison. The presidential pardon, issued posthumously on March 1, 2025 — approximately five months after Rose's death at age 83 — covered the federal tax conviction. MLB subsequently lifted Rose's lifetime baseball ban on May 13, 2025, making him eligible for Hall of Fame consideration for the first time since his exile from the sport.

Second-degree murder, conspiracy to obstruct justice, and obstruction of justice. Sutton, a Fourth District MPD officer, conducted an unauthorised high-speed pursuit of 20-year-old Karon Hylton-Brown on October 23, 2020. Hylton-Brown was riding an electric moped helmetless on a sidewalk — a minor traffic violation for which MPD policy explicitly prohibited a chase. Sutton pursued him for three minutes across 10 city blocks, reaching twice the residential speed limit, driving the wrong way on a one-way street, and turning off his emergency lights and sirens as he accelerated toward a narrow alley exit. Hylton-Brown was struck by an oncoming vehicle as he exited the alley and died two days later. Sutton then conspired with his supervising lieutenant, Andrew Zabavsky, to cover up the pursuit — falsifying incident reports, deactivating body cameras, and failing to collect witness statements. He is the first MPD officer ever convicted of murder while on duty.

Conspiracy to obstruct justice and obstruction of justice. As supervising lieutenant of the Metropolitan Police Department, Zabavsky orchestrated a cover-up after Officer Terence Sutton conducted an unauthorised high-speed pursuit of 20-year-old Karon Hylton-Brown on October 23, 2020. Hylton-Brown, riding a moped helmetless on a DC sidewalk, was struck by an oncoming vehicle as he exited an alley during the chase and died two days later. Zabavsky falsified incident reports (downplaying Hylton-Brown’s injuries and falsely claiming he was under the influence), helped deactivate body cameras after the collision, and failed to take witness statements. The jury found him not guilty of murder — that conviction applied to Sutton only.

Joseph Schwartz was the majority owner and president of Skyline Healthcare LLC, which at its peak operated more than 100 nursing homes across 11 states, caring for more than 7,000 elderly residents. The federal charges against Schwartz stemmed from his operation of nursing home facilities in New Jersey: he willfully failed to remit to the IRS approximately $38–39 million in employment taxes that had been withheld from his employees' paychecks, and he failed to file the Annual Form 5500 Report required by the Department of Labor disclosing the financial status of his employees' 401(k) benefit plan. Separately, Schwartz was convicted in Arkansas state court of Medicaid fraud and tax evasion for submitting false cost reports that inflated Skyline's expenses and overbilled the Arkansas Medicaid program by approximately $2 million. His federal pardon on November 14, 2025 — granted after he spent roughly three months in federal prison — did not cover the Arkansas state conviction. A New York Times investigation later revealed Schwartz had paid nearly $1 million to lobbyists and operatives with ties to Trump allies, including Laura Loomer, "pardon czar" Alice Marie Johnson, and White House counsel David Warrington, to secure the pardon.

Henry Cuellar was a Democratic US Congressman representing Texas's 28th congressional district (Laredo). He and his wife Imelda were indicted in May 2024 on 14 federal counts including two counts of conspiracy, two counts of bribery, honest services wire fraud, money laundering conspiracy, and five counts of money laundering. Prosecutors alleged that from 2014 through at least November 2021, Cuellar accepted nearly $600,000 in bribes from Azerbaijan's state-run oil and gas company — payments laundered through fake consulting contracts with shell companies controlled by his wife, who prosecutors said performed "little or no legitimate" work under them — and from a Mexican bank. In exchange, he allegedly shaped US policy in favor of Azerbaijan, including inserting language into defense spending legislation to prioritize regional ties and working to kill pro-Armenia legislation. He also allegedly tipped off a Mexican bank executive about upcoming payday lending regulation. He was additionally charged with acting as an unregistered foreign agent on behalf of Azerbaijan's government. Cuellar denied all charges. Trump pardoned him in December 2025 before the case went to trial; he was never convicted.

Changpeng Zhao, known as "CZ," was the founder and CEO of Binance, the world's largest cryptocurrency exchange. He pleaded guilty on November 21, 2023 in the Western District of Washington to one count of violating the Bank Secrecy Act by willfully causing Binance to fail to implement an effective anti-money laundering (AML) program. Prosecutors alleged that Zhao deliberately allowed Binance to operate without the legally required controls in order to maximize growth and profit from the US market — knowingly permitting transactions that facilitated child sexual abuse material payments, illegal drug trafficking, and terrorism financing, including by groups sanctioned by the US government. The broader resolution included Binance pleading guilty to additional charges and agreeing to pay $4.3 billion in penalties — one of the largest corporate criminal settlements in US history. Zhao simultaneously stepped down as Binance CEO and personally agreed to pay a $50 million fine. Prosecutors had sought a three-year prison sentence, arguing his conduct was deliberate and the scale of harm substantial.

Jeremy Hutchinson was an Arkansas state senator and representative. He pleaded guilty across three federal jurisdictions to charges arising from two separate corruption schemes. In the first bribery scheme, from approximately 2014 to 2017, he accepted more than $350,000 in monthly legal retainer payments, hotel rooms, baseball tickets, and use of luxury real estate from Preferred Family Healthcare (PFH), a Springfield, Missouri-based behavioral health nonprofit. In exchange, he performed official acts on PFH's behalf — including holding up state agency budgets and drafting and voting on legislation to protect the charity's state funding and block cost-containment reforms that would have reduced its profits. In the second scheme, from 2010 through 2017, he stole and misappropriated thousands of dollars in state campaign contributions for personal use, then filed false federal income tax returns from 2011 to 2014 to conceal the theft. He pleaded guilty in June and July 2019 in the Eastern and Western Districts of Arkansas and the Western District of Missouri.

Julie Chrisley, a reality television personality known for the USA Network show Chrisley Knows Best, was convicted in June 2022 on all counts of a federal superseding indictment including conspiracy to commit bank fraud, bank fraud, wire fraud, conspiracy to commit tax evasion, and obstruction of justice. She and her husband Todd conspired to defraud community banks out of more than $30 million in fraudulent loans by submitting false financial documents — including fabricated bank statements and fake financial records — to obtain loans which were then spent on cars, clothing, real estate, and travel, with new loans taken out to repay old ones. In the tax evasion strand of the scheme, the Chrisleys funneled Todd's income through accounts in Julie's name and transferred funds to family members to conceal income from the IRS. Their accountant, Peter Tarantino, was also convicted for his role in filing false tax returns.

Rod Blagojevich served as the 40th Governor of Illinois from 2003 to 2009. He was arrested in December 2008 on federal corruption charges and subsequently impeached and removed from office — the first US governor removed by impeachment in more than two decades. Across two federal trials, he was convicted on 18 criminal counts including eight counts of wire fraud under color of official right, conspiracy and attempted extortion, three counts related to bribery solicitation, and making false statements to the FBI. The convictions covered multiple corruption schemes: most notoriously, attempting to sell the US Senate seat vacated by President-elect Barack Obama in exchange for personal gain — including a cabinet appointment, an ambassadorship, a union job, or campaign cash. He also attempted to extort the CEO of Children's Memorial Hospital, delaying a state Medicaid reimbursement increase for pediatric specialists until the hospital's leader made a $25,000 campaign contribution. In a separate scheme, he withheld approval of legislation beneficial to the horseracing industry until a track owner delivered on a $100,000 campaign pledge. Trump commuted his sentence in February 2020 (first term), releasing him from prison after approximately eight years. Trump granted him a full pardon in February 2025.

Pamela Anne Hemphill, who was 69 at the time and known as "MAGA Granny," flew to Washington on Jan. 5, 2021 to support efforts to overturn the 2020 election and, during the Jan. 6, 2021 riot, pushed through police lines three times as the crowd grew more violent and encouraged fellow rioters to enter the Capitol. She pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor count of parading, demonstrating, or picketing in a Capitol building. She was sentenced to 60 days of incarceration, 36 months of probation, and $500 in restitution; she later publicly renounced her actions and refused the pardon President Trump later granted her, saying she pleaded guilty "because I was guilty."

Michael Grimm was a Republican US Congressman representing New York's 11th congressional district (Staten Island), and a former FBI agent and Marine. He was originally indicted in April 2014 on a 20-count federal indictment relating to his ownership of Healthalicious, a health food restaurant on Manhattan's Upper East Side which he operated from 2007 to 2010. The charges included mail fraud, wire fraud, health care fraud, filing false tax returns, perjury, and hiring unauthorized workers. He pleaded guilty in December 2014 — one month after winning re-election to a third term — to a single count of aiding and assisting the preparation of a false and fraudulent tax return. He admitted to fraudulently underreporting approximately $900,000 in restaurant gross receipts, making off-the-books cash payments to employees (including unauthorized immigrant workers) to suppress payroll taxes, cheating New York State out of workers' compensation premiums, and lying under oath to conceal his conduct.

Todd Chrisley was a real estate developer and reality television personality known for the USA Network show Chrisley Knows Best. He was convicted in June 2022 on all counts of a federal superseding indictment including conspiracy to commit bank fraud, bank fraud, wire fraud, conspiracy to commit tax evasion, and tax evasion. Chrisley was the primary architect of a scheme to defraud community banks out of more than $30 million through fraudulent loan applications — submitting fabricated bank statements and false financial records to obtain loans, then spending the proceeds on cars, clothing, real estate, and travel, and using new loans to repay old ones. In the tax evasion component, he funneled his income through accounts held in his wife Julie's name and transferred funds to family members to conceal earnings from the IRS. Their accountant, Peter Tarantino, was also convicted for his role in filing false tax returns on the couple's behalf.

Owner of a network of Florida health care companies, including Palm Health Partners and Palm Health Partners Employment Services (PHPES), which employed over 600 people and paid over $24 million annually in payroll. For more than a decade, Walczak engaged in tax evasion, withholding Social Security, Medicare, and federal income taxes from employees' paychecks but keeping the money instead of remitting it to the IRS. From 2016 to 2019, he withheld $7,432,223.80 in employee taxes while spending over $1 million on a yacht and making personal purchases at Bergdorf Goodman, Cartier, and Saks using business funds. He also failed to pay $3,480,111 of his companies' share of Social Security and Medicare taxes. From 2018 onwards, he stopped filing personal income tax returns despite receiving a $360,000 annual salary. In 2019, he created a new company (NextEra) using a family member as nominal 99% owner to continue shielding personal expenditures. In total, Walczak caused a tax loss to the IRS of $10,912,334.80.

Brian Kelsey was a Republican Tennessee State Senator representing Germantown. He pleaded guilty to conspiracy to defraud the United States and aiding and abetting the acceptance of excessive contributions in connection with his 2016 campaign for Congress. Kelsey admitted to secretly funneling $91,000 in illegal contributions to his authorized federal campaign committee: $66,000 transferred from his own Tennessee State Senate campaign committee (a violation of federal law prohibiting the transfer of state campaign funds to federal campaigns), and $25,000 from a nonprofit legal advocacy organization. The funds were routed through a national political organization to pay for advertisements urging voters to support Kelsey in the August 2016 Republican primary election, concealing the true source of the money from the FEC. After entering his guilty plea, Kelsey unsuccessfully attempted to withdraw it, claiming he had entered it with an "unsure heart and a confused mind."

Daniel Johnson, 29, of Austin, Minnesota, climbed through a broken window next to the Senate Wing Door to unlawfully enter the U.S. Capitol at about 2:20 p.m. during the Jan. 6, 2021 riot alongside his father, Daryl Johnson, and remained inside for about 26 minutes, making his way to the East Rotunda doors, where the two joined others in rushing a line of officers and helping force the doors open so rioters outside could enter. He pleaded guilty to a felony count of civil disorder, with other charges dismissed. He was sentenced on 6/1/2022 to 4 months of incarceration, 1 year of supervised release, and $2,000 in restitution.

Elias Irizarry, a freshman cadet at The Citadel from Rock Hill, South Carolina, entered the U.S. Capitol through a broken window during the Jan. 6, 2021 riot; he was identified through security footage, social media photos, and witnesses familiar with him. He pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor count of entering and remaining in a restricted building, with disorderly conduct and violent entry charges dropped, and later apologized for his participation. He was sentenced on 3/15/2023 to 14 days of incarceration, a $25 special assessment, and $500 in restitution; The Citadel suspended him following his guilty plea.

Federal: Entering and/or Remaining in a Restricted Building; Disorderly and Disruptive Conduct in a Restricted Building; Theft of Government Property; Violent Entry and Disorderly Conduct in a Capitol Building; Parading, Demonstrating, or Picketing in a Capitol Building. Pleaded guilty to Theft of Government Property and Parading, Demonstrating, or Picketing in a Capitol Building; other charges dismissed.

Rudolph William Louis Giuliani served as U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York from 1983 to 1989 — where he became nationally known for prosecuting the heads of New York's five Mafia families under RICO statutes, dismantling the "Pizza Connection" international heroin ring, and bringing cases against Wall Street figures including Ivan Boesky and Michael Milken — before serving two terms as Mayor of New York City from 1994 to 2001, earning widespread public admiration for his response to the September 11 attacks. He became Trump's personal attorney in 2018 and, following the November 2020 election, became the most prominent public face of the campaign to overturn the result. In that role, Giuliani filed or directed dozens of legal challenges in state and federal courts across Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Arizona, and Georgia, all of which were dismissed or rejected for lack of evidence. He appeared at the now-infamous November 7, 2020 press conference outside Four Seasons Total Landscaping in Philadelphia and at an RNC headquarters press conference on November 19, 2020, where he publicly alleged a "centralized" nationwide voter fraud conspiracy without supporting evidence. He also appeared before legislative committees in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Arizona, and Georgia making false claims of election fraud and urging lawmakers to reject or replace certified electors. Georgia: In August 2023, Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis secured a 41-count RICO indictment against 19 defendants including Trump. Giuliani was charged with 13 counts: violating Georgia's Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations statute, conspiracy to commit false statements and writings, soliciting a public officer to violate their oath, and related offenses. The indictment alleged he pressured Georgia state lawmakers to appoint a false slate of presidential electors, made knowingly false statements about election fraud at public legislative hearings in Georgia, and engaged in similar conduct in Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Arizona. He surrendered at Fulton County Jail on August 23, 2023, was processed and released on a $150,000 bond, and pleaded not guilty. Arizona: In April 2024, an Arizona grand jury indicted 18 Trump allies — including Giuliani — on charges of fraud, forgery, and conspiracy in connection with the fake elector scheme. The indictment alleged Giuliani personally pressured Arizona legislators and the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors to change the state's certified result, presided over events in Phoenix where he falsely claimed election officials had made no effort to verify the presidential vote, and coordinated the signing of certificates by 11 Trump supporters at Arizona GOP headquarters who falsely claimed to be the state's official presidential electors, despite Joe Biden having won Arizona by 10,457 votes. Giuliani pleaded not guilty in May 2024. Civil liability: In a separate federal civil proceeding, Giuliani was found liable in December 2023 for defaming Fulton County election workers Ruby Freeman and her daughter Wandrea "Shaye" Moss, whom he had repeatedly and falsely accused — from November 2020 through 2021 — of inserting fraudulent USB drives, stuffing ballot boxes, and manipulating vote totals. A federal jury awarded $148,169,000 in damages: $75 million in punitive damages, approximately $33 million in defamation damages, and $40 million for intentional infliction of emotional distress. Giuliani filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in December 2023; the case was dismissed by a judge in 2024 for repeated failure to comply with court orders and disclose income. He was subsequently ordered to surrender his Manhattan apartment, a collectible Mercedes-Benz, and luxury watches. A settlement with Freeman and Moss was reached in January 2025 and the judgment was satisfied in February 2025. Bar discipline: The New York Court of Appeals permanently disbarred Giuliani in 2024, finding he had repeatedly and knowingly made false statements about the 2020 election in legal proceedings and public forums. The District of Columbia Court of Appeals followed with a reciprocal permanent disbarment.

John Eastman earned a J.D. from the University of Chicago Law School and a Ph.D. in Government from the Claremont Graduate School, clerked for Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas in 1996–97, and joined Chapman University's Dale E. Fowler School of Law in 1999 — serving as dean from 2007 to 2010 and holding the Henry Salvatori Professorship in Law. He simultaneously founded the Center for Constitutional Jurisprudence, a public interest law firm affiliated with the Claremont Institute, and was chairman of the Federalist Society's Federalism and Separation of Powers practice group. He was regarded as one of the leading conservative constitutional law scholars in the country before joining Trump's post-election legal effort. After the November 2020 election, Eastman became the principal legal architect of the theory that Vice President Mike Pence possessed constitutional authority to unilaterally refuse to count or delay the certification of electoral votes on the day Congress met to certify the result. He produced two memos — the documents became known collectively as the "Eastman Memos" — setting out his argument. The first, dated December 23, 2020, was a two-page summary proposing that Pence reject or suspend the counting of electoral votes from seven states Biden had won: Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, New Mexico, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. A subsequent six-page memo elaborated a step-by-step process: Pence would announce that competing slates of Trump electors existed in those states; claim he could not select between the competing slates; set aside the Biden electoral votes; close the count declaring Trump the winner with 232 to 222 electoral votes; and if the result was challenged in Congress, allow the House to decide the presidency. Eastman acknowledged in the memos that the plan would violate the Electoral Count Act, which he argued should be disregarded as unconstitutional. In the days immediately before the certification, Pence's counsel Greg Jacob documented that Eastman privately conceded the scheme would not survive judicial review and would violate the Act — yet continued pressing it. Multiple White House and Justice Department officials told Eastman and Trump the plan was legally baseless, describing it variously as "crazy," "nuts," and likely to "cause riots in the streets." Eastman participated directly in Pence pressure meetings and helped coordinate the fake elector scheme across multiple states, by which Trump supporters signed certificates falsely claiming to be each state's legitimate presidential electors and transmitted those documents to Congress and the National Archives. He spoke at the Ellipse rally on the morning of the certification, repeating false claims of election fraud to the crowd before it marched on Congress. Chapman University announced his retirement on January 13, 2021, following a letter signed by more than 140 faculty members demanding his removal. In August 2023, Eastman was among the 19 defendants indicted in Fulton County, Georgia on a sweeping RICO indictment. He faced nine counts: two violations of Georgia's RICO statute, two counts of conspiracy to commit false statements and writings, conspiracy to commit the filing of false documents, two counts of conspiracy to commit forgery in the first degree, conspiracy to commit impersonation of a public officer, and solicitation of a public officer to violate their oath. The indictment focused specifically on his role in orchestrating the fake elector scheme and his legal pressure campaign on Pence. He surrendered at Fulton County Jail on August 22, 2023, and pleaded not guilty. In December 2022, the House Select Committee had referred him to the Department of Justice for prosecution on charges of obstructing the congressional certification and conspiracy to defraud the United States; no federal indictment followed. The California State Bar's Office of Chief Trial Counsel filed 11 disciplinary charges against Eastman. In March 2024, State Bar Court Hearing Judge Yvette Roland issued a 128-page ruling finding him culpable on 10 of the 11 charges and recommending disbarment, citing conduct that "transgressed ethical limits by advocating, participating in and pursuing a strategy to challenge the results of the 2020 presidential election that lacked evidentiary or legal support" and specifically noting his "lack of remorse and accountability." The State Bar Court Review Department affirmed the recommendation in June 2025. The California Supreme Court permanently disbarred Eastman on April 15, 2026, ordering him to pay $5,000 to the Client Security Fund plus costs. Eastman announced his intention to appeal to the United States Supreme Court, arguing the disbarment violated his First Amendment rights.

President of the International Union of Operating Engineers (IUOE) from 2012 to 2025, and AFL-CIO vice-president from 2012. Callahan began his career as an operating engineer in New York City in 1980, participated in recovery efforts at the World Trade Center following the September 11 attacks, and rose to become business manager and president of his local union in 2003 before leading the IUOE nationally. In January 2025, he pleaded guilty to knowingly filing false annual reports with the U.S. Department of Labor, admitting to improperly benefiting from kickbacks worth approximately $315,000 from an advertising firm retained by the IUOE. As part of his plea agreement, he agreed to resign as IUOE president.

James Phillip Womack is the son of Steve Womack, a Republican U.S. congressman who has represented Arkansas's 3rd congressional district since 2011. James Womack has a lengthy criminal history: in September 2018, at age 31, he was arrested on more than ten state charges involving drugs and firearms. He entered a plea agreement and in 2019 received a nine-year state prison sentence on multiple felony counts. On April 26, 2023, a federal grand jury indicted Womack on two counts: distribution of more than five grams of actual methamphetamine, and possession of a firearm as a convicted felon. He reached a plea agreement in which he pleaded guilty to the methamphetamine distribution count; the firearms charge was dismissed. On May 21, 2024, U.S. District Judge Timothy Brooks sentenced him in the Western District of Arkansas.

Oath Keepers leader convicted of seditious conspiracy and obstruction of an official proceeding for his role organising the January 6 Capitol attack.

Convicted in June 2023 of acting as an illegal foreign agent, interstate stalking, and conspiracy. The case centred on Xu Jin, a former Chinese city official who had relocated to New Jersey in 2010. Between 2016 and 2019, McMahon was hired by Chinese co-defendants to locate and surveil Xu Jin and his family as part of a pressure campaign to force their return to China — part of Beijing's broader "Operation Fox Hunt" initiative, which US prosecutors have described as a programme of transnational repression.

Oath Keeper convicted of seditious conspiracy and obstruction of an official proceeding for his role in the January 6 Capitol attack.

Conspiracy to distribute cocaine. Jones pleaded guilty in 1999 and was convicted in 2000 in the U.S. District Court of Maryland before Judge Benson Legg.

Darryl Strawberry was an eight-time MLB All-Star outfielder, best known for his years with the New York Mets and New York Yankees. He pleaded guilty in February 1995 to one federal count of income tax evasion, admitting he had failed to report approximately $350,000 in income earned from autograph signings, memorabilia sales, card shows, and other personal promotional appearances between 1986 and 1990 — resulting in more than $100,000 in unpaid federal taxes. As part of his plea agreement, he agreed to pay more than $430,000 in back taxes and penalties.

Glen Casada served as a Republican member of the Tennessee House of Representatives and as Speaker of the House from 2019 until his resignation later that year. He was convicted at trial in May 2025 on 17 counts including conspiracy to defraud the United States, four counts of honest services wire fraud, conspiracy to commit money laundering, and eight counts of money laundering. The scheme centered on Phoenix Solutions, a political consulting company secretly operated by Casada's former chief of staff Cade Cothren under the alias "Matthew Phoenix." Casada and Cothren exploited Tennessee's legislative constituent mail program — which provides each House member $3,000 annually for constituent mailers — by steering lawmakers' printing and postage business to Phoenix Solutions through deception and fraud. Casada recruited fellow legislators and approved Phoenix Solutions invoices on behalf of the state; in return, Cothren paid him kickbacks. Former state Representative Robin Smith pleaded guilty separately and testified against the pair at trial.

Alexander "P.G." Sittenfeld was a Democratic member of the Cincinnati City Council and a former mayoral candidate. He was convicted at trial in 2022 as part of a wide-ranging FBI public corruption sting at Cincinnati City Hall that ran over two years and involved multiple undercover agents and informants secretly recording elected officials. Sittenfeld was found guilty of one count of bribery concerning programs receiving federal funds and one count of attempted extortion under color of official right. Prosecutors presented audio and video recordings showing Sittenfeld telling undercover FBI agents posing as real estate developers that he could "deliver the votes" on a development project pending before city council in exchange for contributions to a political action committee he controlled. He accepted eight checks of $5,000 each — totaling $40,000 — in 2018 and 2019. He was the third Cincinnati council member arrested in 2020 on public corruption charges stemming from the same sting operation.

Carlos Watson was the founder and CEO of OZY Media, a digital media company that positioned itself as a platform for "new and next" voices. He was convicted at trial in July 2024 in the Eastern District of New York on charges arising from a years-long scheme to defraud investors and lenders out of tens of millions of dollars. Watson was found guilty of conspiracy to commit securities fraud, conspiracy to commit wire fraud, and aggravated identity theft. The scheme involved systematically misrepresenting OZY's audience size, revenues, and business performance to attract investment. The aggravated identity theft charges stemmed from Watson's role in having co-conspirators impersonate executives at major media companies — including a YouTube executive — in communications with lenders and prospective investors, most notably on a call with Goldman Sachs. The fraud caused actual investor losses in excess of $60 million and was intended to deprive prospective investors of hundreds of millions more. The scheme first unraveled after a 2021 New York Times investigation exposed the impersonation.

Oath Keeper convicted of seditious conspiracy and obstruction of an official proceeding for her role in the January 6 Capitol attack.

Adam Kidan was a businessman and partner of lobbyist Jack Abramoff. In 2000, Kidan and Abramoff agreed to purchase SunCruz Casinos — a fleet of gambling cruise ships — from owner Konstantinos "Gus" Boulis for $147.5 million. To finance the deal, they obtained a $60 million loan from lenders by submitting fraudulent documents fabricating a $23 million cash down payment that was never actually made; in reality, Kidan and Abramoff had secretly negotiated a reduction in the purchase price without disclosing this to the lenders, creating false records to make it appear they had contributed their own funds. Kidan pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy and one count of wire fraud in connection with the fraudulent acquisition. The case was entangled in a separate Florida criminal investigation into the 2001 murder of Gus Boulis, in which Kidan was investigated but not charged. The fraud's victims included the financial institutions that extended the acquisition loans. Trump had a prior business relationship with Kidan, who made payments to Trump-affiliated entities during this period.

Indicted in July 2025 on federal antitrust charges under the Sherman Antitrust Act. Prosecutors alleged Leiweke, former CEO of Oak View Group, conspired with rival company Legends to rig the bidding process for the Moody Center arena in Austin, Texas — allegedly promising Legends subcontracting work in exchange for withdrawing their competing bid. The charge carried a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison and a million fine.

Joseph Lewis is a British billionaire and the principal owner of the Tavistock Group, a large private investment organization, and the controlling shareholder of English Premier League soccer club Tottenham Hotspur. He pleaded guilty in January 2024 to one count of conspiracy to commit securities fraud and two counts of securities fraud in the Southern District of New York. Prosecutors alleged that over the course of several years, Lewis repeatedly misused material non-public information he obtained through his business dealings — sharing stock tips with employees, romantic partners, friends, and personal staff as a form of compensation and gifts. In one specific instance, he loaned two of his private aircraft pilots $500,000 and encouraged them to purchase shares in cancer drug company Mirati Therapeutics ahead of the company announcing favorable clinical trial results. His company, Broad Bay Ltd., also pleaded guilty to making false SEC filings to conceal Lewis's ownership stake in a pharmaceutical company, and separately agreed to pay $50 million in penalties.

John G. Rowland served as the 87th Governor of Connecticut from 1995 to 2004, when he resigned amid a separate corruption scandal for which he was convicted and served ten months in prison. In 2014 he was convicted a second time on seven federal counts including conspiracy to defraud the United States, falsification of records, and illegal campaign contributions. The scheme involved Rowland secretly working as a political consultant on two Republican congressional campaigns while concealing his involvement and payments to evade federal election law. In the primary instance, Rowland was paid $35,000 to work on the 2012 campaign of congressional candidate Lisa Wilson-Foley; her husband Brian Foley testified that he hired Rowland through his nursing home company as a sham consultant to keep Rowland's campaign role off the books. Rowland had attempted a similar arrangement in 2010 with another candidate, Mark Greenberg, seeking payments of up to $35,000 a month disguised through Greenberg's animal rescue business. His sentencing came exactly ten years to the day after he was first imprisoned for his earlier corruption conviction as governor.

Jason Galanis is a serial financial fraudster with a long history of securities violations. His federal convictions centered on two interlocking schemes. In the first, Galanis and co-conspirators — including his father John Galanis and associates later linked to Hunter Biden's business partner Devon Archer — arranged for a Native American tribal entity, the Wakpamni Lake Community Corporation of the Oglala Sioux, to issue $63 million in tribal bonds. The proceeds were supposed to be invested to generate annuity payments for the tribe, but Galanis and his co-conspirators instead misappropriated the funds for their own use, leaving investors holding illiquid, worthless bonds they could not redeem or sell. In the second scheme, Galanis used his control of multiple investment advisory firms to defraud clients by placing their funds into those same illiquid tribal bonds without authorization or disclosure. He pleaded guilty to two counts of conspiracy to commit securities fraud, securities fraud, investment adviser fraud, and conspiracy to commit investment adviser fraud in connection with these schemes.

Trevor Milton was the founder and executive chairman of Nikola Corporation, an electric and hydrogen-powered truck startup. He was convicted at trial in October 2022 on one count of securities fraud and two counts of wire fraud. Prosecutors established that Milton systematically lied to investors — through social media posts, media appearances, and public statements — about Nikola's technology, products, and business progress in order to inflate the company's value and attract investment. The most damaging evidence involved a 2018 promotional video appearing to show Nikola's prototype truck driving under its own power; prosecutors proved the vehicle was actually towed to the top of a hill and rolled downhill, having no working drivetrain. Milton took Nikola public via a SPAC merger in June 2020, briefly becoming a billionaire, before a short-seller report in September 2020 exposed the deceptions. Retail investors who bought into Milton's claims suffered combined losses of more than $660 million.

Devon Archer was a private equity executive and longtime business partner of Hunter Biden. He was convicted of conspiracy to commit securities fraud and securities fraud in connection with the same tribal bond scheme as Jason Galanis. From March 2014 through April 2016, Archer and his co-conspirators — including Jason Galanis and others — convinced the Wakpamni Lake Community Corporation of the Oglala Sioux Tribe to issue approximately $60 million in bonds, which were then sold to clients of investment advisory firms under their control. The proceeds were supposed to be invested in annuities to generate payments back to the tribe for economic development, but instead were diverted for personal enrichment and to finance acquisitions for a planned financial services conglomerate — including funds used toward a $10 million Manhattan apartment. Archer's name and his association with Hunter Biden were used by co-conspirators to add legitimacy to the scheme when marketing the bonds to investors.

Antony Vo, of Bloomington, Indiana, drove with his mother to Washington, D.C. to attend Trump's Jan. 6, 2021 "Stop the Steal" rally, then entered the U.S. Capitol during the riot and spent about 27 minutes inside, taking photos and shouting "Freedom!" as he moved through the complex. He pleaded not guilty to all charges; a jury convicted him on 9/22/2023 of all charges, including disorderly conduct and parading, demonstrating, or picketing in a Capitol building. He was sentenced on 4/10/2024 to 9 months of incarceration, 12 months of supervised release, a $70 special assessment, and a $1,000 fine; after a judge warned that Vo did not believe "the law applies to him," he fled to Canada rather than report to prison and was later arrested in Whistler, British Columbia and charged on 1/15/2025 with failure to appear.

Dale Huttle, 73, of Crown Point, Indiana, marched to the U.S. Capitol after the "Stop the Steal" rally carrying a flagpole with an upside-down American flag during the Jan. 6, 2021 riot and lunged forward, forcibly jabbing the flagpole into the stomach of a Metropolitan Police Department officer, causing the officer to lose his footing, fall on the stairs, and suffer a slipped disk; afterward Huttle told reporters, "I'm not ashamed of being there. It was our duty as patriots," calling himself "the ultimate patriot." He pleaded guilty to a felony count of assaulting, resisting, or impeding officers using a deadly or dangerous weapon, with other charges dismissed. He was sentenced on 6/18/2024 to 30 months of incarceration, 36 months of supervised release, and $3,639 in restitution.

Daniel Christmann, a repeat third-party candidate for office from Brooklyn, New York, trespassed into an interior room of the U.S. Capitol during the Jan. 6, 2021 riot and posted a photo of himself there to Instagram. He was arrested on July 28, 2021 on four federal charges and pleaded guilty on Nov. 28, 2022 to parading, demonstrating, or picketing in a Capitol building. He was sentenced in June 2024 to 25 days in jail and $500 in restitution.

Charged with a felony for obstructing an official proceeding and several misdemeanors relating to the January 6, 2021 Capitol attack. After breaking into the Capitol, Medina vandalized the nameplate over Nancy Pelosi's office.

Leo Brent Bozell IV, 44, of Palmyra, Pennsylvania — son and grandson of prominent conservative media figures Brent Bozell III, founder of the Media Research Center and Parents Television Council — bashed in a Capitol window, chased a police officer, invaded the Senate floor, and led an angry mob at multiple key points during the Jan. 6, 2021 riot. He pleaded not guilty and was convicted at a bench trial on Sept. 8, 2023 of 10 charges, including five felonies such as obstruction of an official proceeding and destruction of government property. Prosecutors sought more than 11 years with a terrorism sentencing enhancement, but the judge declined to apply it, calling his conduct "far afield" from what typically comes to mind as terrorism, and sentenced him to 45 months in prison and $4,729 in restitution.

Federal: Inflicting Bodily Injury on Certain Officers (2 counts); Obstruction of Law Enforcement During Civil Disorder; Disorderly Conduct in a Capitol Building or Grounds; Act of Physical Violence in the Capitol Grounds or Buildings

Pauline Bauer, a 55-year-old restaurant owner from Kane, Pennsylvania, forced her way into the U.S. Capitol during the Jan. 6, 2021 riot and positioned herself near then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's office suite, screaming at police to bring Pelosi out so the crowd could "hang" her, calling lawmakers "criminals" who "need to hang." During court proceedings she expressed views consistent with the "sovereign citizen" movement, telling the judge the court had no authority over her. She pleaded not guilty and was convicted on all five felony and misdemeanor charges — including obstruction of an official proceeding — at a bench trial on Jan. 24, 2023, and was sentenced to 27 months in prison, 24 months of supervised release, a $2,000 fine, and $2,000 in restitution.

Thomas Harlen Smith, 45, of Mathiston, Mississippi, traveled to Washington, D.C. on January 5, 2021 to attend Donald Trump's rally the next day, picking up his cousin from Alabama along the way; during the Jan. 6, 2021 riot that followed, he pushed to the front of a group of rioters at the Lower West Terrace and thrust a flagpole "like a spear" five times trying to break a window next to the doors, then surged through the door as he and others pushed into a line of Metropolitan Police officers trying to hold it shut. He pleaded not guilty to all charges; a jury convicted him on 5/5/2023 of 11 charges, including nine felonies such as assaulting officers with a dangerous weapon, obstruction of an official proceeding, and two counts of civil disorder. U.S. District Judge Reggie B. Walton sentenced him on 10/16/2023 to 108 months of incarceration, 36 months of supervised release, a $920 special assessment, a $37,085 fine, and 200 hours of community service.

Sidney Powell spent a decade as one of the youngest federal prosecutors in the country, serving as an Assistant U.S. Attorney in Texas and Virginia from the late 1970s, before entering private practice in Dallas in 1993. Over more than twenty years in private practice she led more than 500 federal appeals, became known for cases involving corporate fraud, and authored Licensed to Lie: Exposing Corruption in the Department of Justice (2014). She entered Trump's orbit in 2020 through her work advocating for disgraced national security adviser Michael Flynn, and in the weeks after the November 2020 election became the most prominent legal architect of the claim that voting machines had been systematically manipulated to steal the election. In November 2020, Powell appeared alongside Giuliani at the November 19 RNC press conference and publicly vowed to "release the Kraken" — a reference to her planned lawsuits in battleground states. She filed sweeping federal suits in Georgia, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Arizona alleging that Dominion Voting Systems machines had been programmed to switch votes, that the software had been created at Hugo Chávez's direction to rig elections in Venezuela, and that a coordinated multi-state fraud had produced Biden's victory. The suits were widely derided for factual errors, misspelled plaintiff names, named locations that did not exist, and contained no credible evidentiary support; all were dismissed. The Trump campaign publicly distanced itself from Powell in late November 2020, though she continued her campaign independently. Through her nonprofit organization Defending the Republic, she raised more than $16 million in the months following the election, part of which was used to fund forensic access to voting equipment across multiple states. The most consequential of these operations was the Coffee County, Georgia breach. On January 7, 2021 — the day after rioters stormed Congress — employees of SullivanStrickler LLC, an Atlanta-based data company retained by Powell's organization for approximately $26,000, gained access to the Coffee County elections office with the assistance of Coffee County GOP Chair Cathy Latham (herself one of the fake electors appointed to falsely certify Trump's victory), elections supervisor Misty Hampton, and a board member. The team copied hard drives and accessed the proprietary Dominion voting system software. SullivanStrickler's chief operating officer subsequently emailed Powell to confirm: "Everything went smoothly yesterday with the Coffee County collection." In August 2023, Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis included Powell among the 19 defendants in the sweeping RICO indictment against Trump and his allies. Powell faced seven felony counts: one count of violating Georgia's RICO statute and six counts tied specifically to her role in orchestrating the Coffee County voting system breach and the broader conspiracy to interfere with Georgia's election administration. In a separate federal civil proceeding, Dominion Voting Systems sued Powell for $1.3 billion in January 2021, alleging she had knowingly spread false claims about the company to defraud Trump supporters into donations; Powell's lawyers argued in court that "no reasonable person" would have taken her claims as statements of fact. The case was settled confidentially. On October 19, 2023 — less than a week before she was due to stand trial — Powell entered a surprise guilty plea in Fulton County Superior Court to six misdemeanor counts of conspiracy to commit intentional interference with the performance of election duties. As part of the plea agreement she agreed to cooperate with prosecutors, provide truthful testimony at any future hearings or trials involving co-defendants (including Trump), and record a statement for prosecutors.

Newton pleaded guilty in April 2002 to one count of conspiracy to distribute and possess with intent to distribute marijuana, arising from two separate traffic stops within five weeks of each other. On November 4, 2001, police stopped Newton and two companions on Interstate 10 in St. Martin Parish, Louisiana, and discovered 213 pounds of marijuana in his white van; he and the others were charged with possession with intent to distribute and released on $100,000 bond each. While out on bail, Newton was arrested again on December 12, 2001, in Texas, when authorities found $10,000 cash in his red pickup truck and 175 pounds of marijuana — with an estimated street value of $700,000 — in the trunk of an accompanying vehicle. In total the two stops yielded nearly 390 pounds of marijuana. Newton later admitted the conduct openly, telling interviewers: "I've always been competitive, I've always been in sports. I couldn't see myself not being the biggest dope man" — and that he made up to $75,000 per deal. Under the plea agreement, additional charges of aiding and abetting distribution were dropped.

Cannon pleaded guilty on July 16, 1983 — just six days after his arrest — to conspiracy and possession of counterfeit obligations in connection with a scheme to produce and distribute approximately $6 million in high-quality counterfeit $100 bills, described by federal agents as one of the largest counterfeiting operations ever uncovered in the United States. The scheme had its roots in January 1980, when Cannon — by then a successful orthodontist in Baton Rouge, having earned a D.D.S. from the University of Tennessee and an advanced orthodontics degree from Loyola in Chicago — met a neighbour named John Stiglets, a convicted counterfeiter, and gave him $15,000 to purchase a printing press. The counterfeiting operation was run out of a warehouse in Cleburne, Texas. Financial pressure was the driving force: bad real estate investments and mounting gambling debts had left Cannon in serious financial difficulty despite his prosperous dental practice. He was arrested on July 9, 1983, after Secret Service agents set up a sting in which he attempted to sell counterfeit currency to an undercover agent; authorities found fake bills buried in ice chests on property linked to Cannon and additional quantities stashed in closets at his orthodontist's office. All but approximately $1 million of the counterfeit notes was recovered. As part of the plea agreement, Cannon agreed to testify against four co-conspirators and other charges were dropped.

Lewis pleaded guilty in October 2004 to using a cellular telephone to facilitate a drug transaction — specifically, to helping broker a cocaine deal for his childhood friend Angelo Jackson. The underlying incident occurred on June 23, 2000, just weeks after Lewis had been selected fifth overall by the Baltimore Ravens in the NFL Draft. An FBI informant contacted Lewis by cell phone to discuss arranging a cocaine sale to Lewis and Jackson; Lewis and Jackson subsequently met the informant at an Atlanta restaurant, where both conversations were recorded. No drugs ever changed hands. Federal prosecutors initially charged Lewis with two counts: conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute cocaine (which carried a statutory minimum of ten years) and using a cell phone in furtherance of that conspiracy. Under the plea agreement, prosecutors dropped the conspiracy and attempted cocaine possession charges, leaving only the communications count to which Lewis admitted guilt.

Seven counts, convicted February 4, 2015, following a four-week jury trial in the Southern District of New York: narcotics trafficking conspiracy, distributing narcotics, distributing narcotics by means of the internet, continuing criminal enterprise (the federal "kingpin" statute), conspiracy to commit computer hacking, and conspiracy to commit money laundering. Ulbricht founded and operated Silk Road — the first large-scale dark web marketplace — under the pseudonym "Dread Pirate Roberts," running it from February 2011 until the FBI shut it down and arrested him in San Francisco in October 2013. The platform operated on the Tor anonymity network and used Bitcoin for transactions. It generated approximately $183 million in sales over its lifetime, with Ulbricht earning roughly $13 million in commissions; drugs accounted for approximately 70% of all listings. At least six people died from overdoses involving drugs purchased on the site. Note: allegations that Ulbricht solicited murder-for-hire contracts were referenced by the judge at sentencing but were never charged or proven in the New York trial. Separate murder-for-hire charges filed in Maryland were dropped by prosecutors in 2018.

Klecko pleaded guilty in January 1993 to one count of perjury, specifically for lying to a federal grand jury in November 1991 during an investigation into a large-scale automobile insurance fraud scheme. The scheme centered on the Sun Oil Company refinery in Marcus Hook, Pennsylvania, where employees of the Travelers Insurance Company's Voorhees, New Jersey office conspired with auto body shops and claimants to submit fraudulent damage claims — alleging that refinery emissions had ruined vehicle paint finishes — for incidents purportedly occurring between 1988 and 1990. Travelers paid out more than $5 million in fraudulent claims before the scheme was exposed. A federal grand jury ultimately indicted 67 people in connection with the fraud in October 1992. Klecko's role was to lend his pickup truck's registration to be used in submitting a false claim; when called before the grand jury he lied about the condition of the truck and his involvement, telling investigators he had not participated. His attorney stated at sentencing that Klecko had lied to protect friends and that he later deeply regretted it, apologising directly to the court.

Mark Meadows served as a Republican congressman from North Carolina's 11th district from 2013 to 2020, including a stint as chairman of the House Freedom Caucus. On March 30, 2020, Trump appointed him as his fourth — and final — White House Chief of Staff, a post he held through Inauguration Day 2021. In the weeks following the November 2020 election, Meadows became a central figure in efforts to overturn the result. According to the Arizona indictment, he privately told a White House staff member in early November 2020 that Trump had lost. Nonetheless, Meadows coordinated and facilitated numerous schemes to reverse Biden's victory. His role in the January 2, 2021 phone call in which Trump pressured Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to "find 11,780 votes" — the exact margin needed to flip the state — was among the most consequential. During the call, Raffensperger's aide repeatedly texted Meadows urging him to end it. In August 2023, a Fulton County grand jury indicted Meadows on two counts under the Georgia RICO Act: violation of the Georgia Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations statute, and solicitation of violation of oath by a public officer. The indictment named him as a co-defendant alongside Trump and 17 others, listing his role in the Raffensperger call as a key overt act in the broader conspiracy to subvert Georgia's election. Meadows pleaded not guilty. In April 2024, a Maricopa County, Arizona grand jury indicted 18 individuals — including Meadows — for their alleged roles in the fake electors scheme. Meadows faces nine felony counts for his alleged coordination of efforts to submit fraudulent certificates naming Trump supporters as Arizona's Electoral College electors, despite Biden having won the state by more than 10,000 votes. Meadows pleaded not guilty in June 2024 and also sought to have the Arizona case removed to federal court, arguing his actions fell within his duties as a federal official. Meadows made parallel removal arguments in Georgia. He contended the federal officer removal statute gave him the right to move his state prosecution to federal court. U.S. District Judge Steve Jones rejected that argument in September 2023, and the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed the denial in December 2023, ruling that the statute did not apply to former federal officers and that the conduct alleged fell outside any official duties. The Supreme Court declined to hear Meadows's appeal in November 2024. Meadows was also held in contempt of Congress. After initially providing limited cooperation to the House Select Committee, he defied a subpoena, refusing to testify or produce documents. The House voted 222 to 208 in December 2021 to hold him in criminal contempt and referred the matter to the Department of Justice. The committee's investigation also surfaced damaging testimony from Cassidy Hutchinson, Meadows's own top aide, who described him as having warned her on January 2, 2021 that things might get "real, real bad" on the 6th. Hutchinson testified that Meadows burned documents in his White House fireplace after meeting with Representative Scott Perry, and that Meadows relayed Trump's apparent approval of chants calling for Vice President Pence to be hanged.

Conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute cocaine. Henry, a former NFL running back who played for the Buffalo Bills (2001–2004), Tennessee Titans (2005–2006), and Denver Broncos (2007), was identified by federal investigators as the financier — the "money man" — behind a drug trafficking operation that moved cocaine between Denver, Colorado and Billings, Montana from approximately 2006 until his arrest in September 2008. The operation came to light when a Montana Division of Criminal Investigation undercover agent, investigating cocaine trafficking in Billings, traced the supply chain back to Denver. On September 16, 2008, a traffic stop on Interstate 90 in Montana uncovered approximately three kilograms of cocaine and six pounds of marijuana connected to the network. The conspiracy involved in excess of five kilograms of cocaine in total. Henry was arrested in the Denver area following an undercover sting and pleaded guilty to a single count in April 2009.

Proud Boys national vice chairman who pleaded guilty to seditious conspiracy and cooperated with prosecutors in the January 6 investigation.

Joe Angelo Sotelo (also known as "Baby Joe" and Joseph A. Sotelo III) was a key participant in the Fort Worth cocaine distribution organization run by his brother Edward Ruben Sotelo. The conspiracy, which operated from 1990 through January 1995, distributed more than 280 kilograms of cocaine — used largely as crack — across the Fort Worth area, along with at least 100 pounds of marijuana. Joe Sotelo was charged alongside his brother and four other co-defendants in a twelve-count federal indictment. A jury convicted him of two counts: conspiracy to possess cocaine with intent to distribute, and possession of cocaine with intent to distribute (aiding and abetting). He was a central figure in a June 1993 incident that became evidence at trial: after purchasing five kilograms of cocaine from supplier Juan Robles — who took payment but delivered flour — Joe Sotelo participated in the kidnapping of Robles's fourteen-year-old brother Gilberto to recover the money. The Fifth Circuit affirmed the convictions of all defendants in 1996 (97 F.3d 782). In 2019, Sotelo sought a sentence reduction under Amendment 782 to the Sentencing Guidelines, which retroactively lowered drug offense levels. The district court denied the motion, finding that his career offender status (criminal history category VI) controlled his guidelines range and Amendment 782 did not lower it. The Fifth Circuit affirmed on October 31, 2019 (No. 19-10412).

Larry Hoover was born in Jackson, Mississippi in 1950 and moved to Chicago's South Side as a child. At 13 he dropped out of school and joined a street gang. In 1969, Hoover and David Barksdale merged their respective factions — the Supreme Gangsters and the Black Disciples — into what became the Black Gangster Disciple Nation. After Barksdale's death in 1974, Hoover took sole control and, under the alias "King Larry," built the organization — by then known as the Gangster Disciples — into one of the most expansive street gangs in American history. Even after being convicted of murder in an Illinois state court in December 1973 — for ordering the execution of 19-year-old William "Pooky" Young, whom Hoover suspected of stealing from gang drug stash houses, and who was shot in the head six times and dumped in an alley in Chicago's Englewood neighborhood — Hoover continued to run the Gangster Disciples from prison. By the early 1990s, prosecutors alleged the organization had approximately 30,000 members across 35 states and generated roughly $100 million a year in drug revenue. Beginning in 1993, federal investigators gained court approval to place hidden transmitters inside visitor badges given to gang leaders who met with Hoover in person, allowing them to monitor what jailhouse phone calls could not. The resulting 17-year joint investigation by the FBI, ATF, DEA, and the Illinois Department of Corrections culminated in Hoover's federal indictment on August 22, 1995. On May 9, 1997, a federal jury found Hoover guilty on all 40 counts: narcotics conspiracy, continuing criminal enterprise, use of persons under the age of 18 to conduct drug transactions, distribution of cocaine, use of a firearm in the commission of a drug trafficking crime, extortion, and laundering of drug proceeds. The verdict covered criminal conduct Hoover had orchestrated entirely while already serving a state prison term for murder.

Michael Ray Harris — known widely as "Harry-O" — was born in Los Angeles in 1960. After dropping out of West Los Angeles Community College and quitting his job before his 20th birthday, he built one of the most expansive street-level cocaine and crack operations in Southern California's history. Working alongside his brother David, and drawing on networks that included both Bloods and Crips sets as well as the Cali Cartel, Harris grew his drug enterprise to a reported $2 million in daily revenue. Alongside the drug operation, he invested proceeds into legitimate Los Angeles businesses — a deli, a beauty salon, a limousine service, an electrical company, and a theatrical production company — including financing the 1988 Broadway play Checkmates, which marked Denzel Washington's debut on that stage. In 1987, before the federal case, Harris received a 28-year California state prison sentence for the kidnapping and attempted murder of James Lester, a relative and member of his own drug ring. He was subsequently charged in federal court for the drug operation itself. On November 26, 1990, Harris was convicted in federal court of conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute cocaine and aiding and abetting possession with intent to distribute cocaine. The federal conviction covered the large-scale cocaine distribution network he had run across multiple states. From prison, Harris played a pivotal behind-the-scenes role in American music history. In late 1991, he connected his attorney David Kenner with Marion "Suge" Knight, and invested $1.5 million to co-found Godfather Entertainment — the parent company of Death Row Records, which went on to launch the careers of Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, and Tupac Shakur, and generate hundreds of millions of dollars in sales. Because he was incarcerated, his wife Lydia formally held his stake. Death Row is widely credited as one of the most commercially dominant — and culturally consequential — hip-hop labels in history.

Joan Andrews Bell, 76, is one of the most prominent figures in the American pro-life movement, having been arrested more than 200 times and served more than six years in prison over decades of clinic blockade activism stretching back to the 1980s, when her extended imprisonment in Florida helped fuel the Operation Rescue movement. On October 22, 2020, she was among ten defendants who participated in a coordinated blockade of the Washington Surgi-Clinic, a reproductive health clinic in Washington, D.C. Along with co-defendants Lauren Handy, Jonathan Darnel, Herb Geraghty, Heather Idoni, Jean Marshall, John Hinshaw, William Goodman, Paulette Harlow, and Jay Smith, Bell traveled to Washington to take part in what the group's leaders — Handy and Darnel — had organized as a "historic" rescue, livestreamed on Facebook. The defendants used force and physical obstruction to blockade two clinic entrances using their bodies, furniture, chains, and ropes, preventing staff and patients from accessing the facility. A clinic nurse was injured during the group's forced entry; one patient had to climb through a receptionist window to access the clinic, and another was left lying in the hallway outside in physical distress. Bell was convicted at trial in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia of conspiracy against rights (18 U.S.C. § 241) and violation of the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act (FACE Act, 18 U.S.C. § 248). Her conviction came in September 2023 in the second of three separate trials in the case, alongside co-defendants Jean Marshall and Jonathan Darnel.

Justin Phillips, a Michigan pastor and father of four, was one of seven pro-life activists convicted on August 20, 2024, in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan of conspiracy against rights (18 U.S.C. § 241) and violation of the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act (FACE Act, 18 U.S.C. § 248), arising out of a blockade of the Northland Family Planning Clinic in Sterling Heights, Michigan, on August 27, 2020. The blockade was organized as part of the "Michigan Holiness Revival Tour," a camping tour arranged by co-defendant Calvin Zastrow with the express purpose of blockading a reproductive health clinic. Phillips participated in a sit-in outside the clinic entrance alongside co-defendants Calvin Zastrow, Chester Gallagher, Heather Idoni, Joel Curry, Eva Edl, and Eva Zastrow, physically blocking patients and employees from entering the facility. Among those blocked was a patient whose fetus had been diagnosed with fatal abnormalities and for whom continuing the pregnancy posed serious risks to her health and fertility. The trial lasted six weeks in the Eastern District of Michigan.

Paul Vaughn, a father of eleven, was one of six defendants convicted at trial in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee of conspiracy against rights (18 U.S.C. § 241) and violation of the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act (FACE Act, 18 U.S.C. § 248), arising from a March 5, 2021 blockade of the Carafem Health Center Clinic in Mt. Juliet, Tennessee. Vaughn was indicted in October 2022 and convicted in January 2024. His co-defendants at trial included Chester Gallagher, Calvin Zastrow, Heather Idoni, Coleman Boyd, and Dennis Green; a seventh originally charged defendant, Caroline Davis, cooperated with the government and was handled separately. The defendants blocked patients and staff from accessing the clinic during the blockade. Vaughn faced a maximum combined penalty of 11 years in federal prison. His arrest — conducted by armed FBI agents — attracted widespread attention.

William Goodman, 54, of the Bronx, New York, was one of ten defendants who participated in a coordinated blockade of the Washington Surgi-Clinic, a reproductive health clinic in Washington, D.C., on October 22, 2020. Along with co-defendants Lauren Handy, Jonathan Darnel, Herb Geraghty, Heather Idoni, Jean Marshall, Joan Bell, John Hinshaw, Paulette Harlow, and Jay Smith, Goodman traveled to Washington to take part in what the group's leaders — Handy and Darnel — had organized as a "historic" rescue, livestreamed on Facebook. The defendants used force and physical obstruction to blockade two clinic entrances using their bodies, furniture, chains, and ropes, preventing staff and patients from accessing the facility. A clinic nurse was injured during the group's forced entry; one patient had to climb through a receptionist window to access the clinic, and another was left lying in the hallway outside in physical distress. Goodman was convicted at trial in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia of conspiracy against rights (18 U.S.C. § 241) and violation of the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act (FACE Act, 18 U.S.C. § 248). His conviction came on August 29, 2023, in the first of three separate trials in the case, alongside co-defendants Lauren Handy, John Hinshaw, Heather Idoni, and Herb Geraghty.

Terren Scott Peizer, Executive Chairman and former CEO of Ontrak, Inc. — a publicly traded behavioral health company — was convicted of one count of securities fraud and two counts of insider trading in a landmark case that was the first federal insider trading prosecution based exclusively on the misuse of Rule 10b5-1 trading plans. In May 2021, while in possession of material nonpublic information that Ontrak's largest customer — which accounted for more than half the company's revenue — was at risk of terminating its contract, Peizer established a 10b5-1 trading plan through his investment vehicle, Acuitas Group Holdings, LLC, falsely attesting that he had no knowledge of material nonpublic information. Under that plan he sold approximately 600,000 Ontrak shares worth more than $19.2 million. In August 2021, after learning the customer relationship was on the verge of collapse, he established a second trading plan and sold a further 45,000 shares worth approximately $1.9 million. When Ontrak publicly announced the contract termination on August 19, 2021, its stock price fell more than 44 percent; Peizer had avoided more than $12.7 million in losses. A Los Angeles federal jury convicted him following a nine-day trial in June 2024.

Andre Donnell Routt was convicted of conspiracy to knowingly and intentionally distribute and possess with intent to distribute five kilograms or more of cocaine, prosecuted in the Eastern District of Texas (Case No. 1:94-CR-12). His trial ran May 24–31, 1994 before Judge Cobb. The scale of the operation was large. The Fifth Circuit, reviewing a sentence reduction appeal in 2016, confirmed that Routt was held responsible for 42.5 kilograms and four ounces of crack cocaine and 150 kilograms of powder cocaine — quantities equivalent to more than 90,000 kilograms of marijuana under Sentencing Guidelines calculations. His base offense level was 38, with six additional specific offense enhancements, yielding a total offense level of 44 and a criminal history category of IV.

Julio M. Herrera Velutini, a Venezuelan-born billionaire banker with banking interests in Puerto Rico, was charged in a scheme to bribe then-Puerto Rico Governor Wanda Vázquez Garced in exchange for government action to remove and replace the island's top banking regulator. Beginning in 2019, while one of Herrera Velutini's banks was under examination by Puerto Rico's Office of the Commissioner of Financial Institutions (OCIF), he and former FBI agent Mark Rossini offered to fund Vázquez Garced's 2020 gubernatorial campaign in exchange for her firing the OCIF commissioner and installing a replacement favorable to Herrera Velutini. The governor accepted, demanded the commissioner's resignation in February 2020, and appointed a former consultant for Herrera Velutini's bank as his replacement three months later. All three defendants were indicted in 2022 on seven felony counts including conspiracy, federal program bribery, and honest services wire fraud. In mid-2025, the DOJ allowed the defendants to plead guilty to a single misdemeanor — accepting a pledge of campaign contributions from a foreign national — a deal the presiding judge described as "a slap on the wrist." Herrera Velutini was pardoned on January 15, 2026, before sentencing, and the case was dismissed in its entirety on January 27, 2026.

Edward Ruben Sotelo ran one of Fort Worth's most prominent cocaine distribution organizations through the late 1980s and into the 1990s. Federal prosecutors described the Sotelo operation as responsible for distributing more than 280 kilograms of cocaine — used largely as crack — as well as at least 100 pounds of marijuana across the Fort Worth area. The conspiracy ran from 1990 through January 1995. A twelve-count federal indictment charged Sotelo and five co-defendants, including his brother Joeangelo Sotelo Jr. (Joe), with the conspiracy. The case included a June 1993 kidnapping incident in which, after a supplier named Juan Robles accepted payment for five kilograms of cocaine but delivered flour instead, Edward and Joe Sotelo and two associates abducted Robles's fourteen-year-old brother Gilberto in order to recover the money. Gilberto was struck but sustained only minor injury. A jury convicted Edward Sotelo of five counts: operating a continuing criminal enterprise (CCE), possession of cocaine with intent to distribute, use of a communication facility to commit a felony, possession of marijuana with intent to distribute, and distribution of cocaine. The Fifth Circuit affirmed his convictions in 1996 (97 F.3d 782).

Charles "Duke" Tanner grew up in Gary, Indiana and began boxing at age six, training under mentors including Angelo Dundee, who famously trained Muhammad Ali. He turned professional at 18 and won his first 19 fights, including a televised bout on ESPN. When boxing injuries disrupted his career and financial pressure mounted — he had a young son to support — Tanner says he turned to the streets. Along with two of his brothers, he became involved in a nonviolent drug trafficking conspiracy. Tanner was arrested after accepting 15 kilograms of fake cocaine as part of a police sting. He was convicted on two counts: conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute cocaine, and attempt to possess with intent to distribute cocaine. He was sentenced on May 26, 2009 to 360 months (30 years) in federal prison — a term the REFORM Alliance described as a "double-life sentence" — along with 10 years' supervised release and a $1,000 fine. It was his first drug offense. Both of his parents died while he and his brothers were incarcerated.

Calvin Zastrow, a self-described pro-life missionary from Kawkalin, Michigan, was one of seven defendants charged in October 2022 with the more serious counts arising from a planned blockade of the Carafem Health Center Clinic in Mt. Juliet, Tennessee, on March 5, 2021. According to a federal grand jury indictment unsealed in the Middle District of Tennessee, Zastrow and his co-defendants — including Chester Gallagher, Heather Idoni, Coleman Boyd, Dennis Green, Caroline Davis, and Paul Vaughn — used force and physical obstruction to injure, intimidate, and interfere with clinic employees and a patient who was seeking reproductive health services, blocking the entry doors and preventing the patient and an employee from entering. Zastrow was convicted of conspiracy against rights secured by the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act (18 U.S.C. § 241), violation of the FACE Act (18 U.S.C. § 248) through physical obstruction, conspiracy to obstruct access to a clinic providing reproductive health services, and clinic access obstruction. The case was prosecuted by the Civil Rights Division of the Department of Justice and the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Middle District of Tennessee.

Caroline Davis, of Michigan, was among the eleven defendants indicted in October 2022 for the March 5, 2021 blockade of the Carafem Health Center Clinic in Mt. Juliet, Tennessee, where she participated alongside Calvin Zastrow, Chester Gallagher, and others in physically obstructing access to the clinic. Davis was also charged separately in the Eastern District of Michigan in connection with a similar clinic blockade in Sterling Heights, Michigan, in August 2020. Rather than proceeding to trial, Davis entered a plea agreement with federal prosecutors in which she agreed to cooperate with the government, testified as a key prosecution witness in the Tennessee trial against her co-defendants (United States v. Gallagher et al.) and in the Washington, D.C. FACE Act prosecution, and had her felony charge reduced to a misdemeanor. She was convicted of conspiracy to interfere with access to clinic entrances, aiding and abetting interference with access to clinic entrances, conspiracy, and interference with clinic access, across the two proceedings in Tennessee and Michigan.

Chester Gallagher, 73, of Lebanon, Tennessee, was the acknowledged organizer and leader of the March 5, 2021 blockade of the Carafem Health Center Clinic in Mt. Juliet, Tennessee. Beginning in February 2021, Gallagher used Facebook to promote a series of anti-abortion events in the Nashville area, advertising the planned blockade as a "rescue." At trial, evidence showed that he and co-conspirators traveled from out of state to participate, and that Gallagher personally stalled the Mount Juliet Police Department through phony negotiations while his co-defendants physically blocked the clinic's entry doors. He was convicted at trial on January 30, 2024, alongside five co-defendants of conspiracy against rights secured by the FACE Act (18 U.S.C. § 241), violation of the FACE Act (18 U.S.C. § 248), conspiracy to obstruct access to a clinic providing reproductive health services, and clinic access obstruction — the same core counts as his co-defendants, but with his role as organizer and leader emphasized by prosecutors. Gallagher was also separately convicted on August 20, 2024, in the Eastern District of Michigan of conspiracy against rights and FACE Act offenses arising from a related clinic blockade in the Detroit area.

Christopher Moscinski — known in religious life as Father Fidelis Moscinski, a priest of the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal (CFR) — was convicted of interference with freedom of access to reproductive health services under the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act (18 U.S.C. § 248) in the Eastern District of New York. On the morning of July 7, 2022, Moscinski went to the Planned Parenthood of Greater New York clinic in Hempstead, New York, where he placed padlocks, bicycle locks, and chains on the gated entrance and poured glue into some of the locks, effectively shutting the clinic down for approximately two hours. After police and fire personnel cut through the locks, Moscinski lay down in front of the entrance in his religious habit to physically block vehicles from entering the parking lot until he was arrested. The case was prosecuted by the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of New York.

Coleman Boyd, 51, of Bolton, Mississippi, was one of the seven defendants charged with the most serious counts arising from the March 5, 2021 blockade of the Carafem Health Center Clinic in Mt. Juliet, Tennessee. According to evidence presented at trial, Boyd played a visible promotional role in organizing the event: on March 4, 2021, he and Chester Gallagher advertised the planned blockade on Facebook, and the following morning Boyd began a Facebook livestream broadcast of the blockade at 7:45 a.m., titled "Mt. Juliet, TN Rescue March 5, 2021," through which he broadcast the event to a live audience in real time. During the livestream, Boyd described a patient attempting to access the clinic as "a mom coming to kill her baby." He was convicted at trial on January 30, 2024, of conspiracy to obstruct access to a clinic providing reproductive health services (18 U.S.C. § 241) and violation of the FACE Act (18 U.S.C. § 248). The case was prosecuted in the Middle District of Tennessee.

Dennis Green, 56, of Cumberland, Virginia, was one of the seven defendants charged with the most serious counts arising from the March 5, 2021 blockade of the Carafem Health Center Clinic in Mt. Juliet, Tennessee. According to the federal indictment, Green and his co-defendants traveled from out of state to participate in the planned blockade, using force and physical obstruction to injure, intimidate, and interfere with clinic employees and a patient seeking reproductive health services. He was convicted at trial on January 30, 2024, of conspiracy to obstruct access to a clinic providing reproductive health services (18 U.S.C. § 241) and violation of the FACE Act (18 U.S.C. § 248). The case was prosecuted by the Civil Rights Division of the Department of Justice and the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Middle District of Tennessee.

Eva Zastrow, 24, of Dover, Arkansas, was among the defendants charged in connection with the March 5, 2021 blockade of the Carafem Health Center Clinic in Mt. Juliet, Tennessee, where she and others physically blocked the clinic entrance for over two hours, preventing employees and a patient from accessing the facility. Unlike the seven co-defendants charged with the felony conspiracy counts, Zastrow was charged with the misdemeanor FACE Act violation for her direct participation in the obstruction. She was convicted at a separate trial in April 2024, alongside Eva Edl, James Zastrow, and Paul Place. The profile also records convictions for conspiracy against rights and clinic access obstruction, reflecting charges arising from related FACE Act proceedings. The conviction and sentence were subsequently vacated and dismissed.

Heather Idoni, of Linden, Michigan — a grandmother who raised five biological children and adopted ten boys from Ukraine — was convicted of FACE Act offenses in two separate federal proceedings. Her primary conviction arose from the October 22, 2020 blockade of a reproductive health clinic in Washington, D.C., in which she and co-defendants invaded and blockaded the clinic to prevent it from providing reproductive health services. She was tried in that case in August 2023 in the District of Columbia, convicted of conspiracy against rights (18 U.S.C. § 241) and FACE Act violations, and was remanded into custody immediately following the verdict pending sentencing. She was also among the seven defendants convicted at the January 2024 trial in the Middle District of Tennessee for the March 5, 2021 blockade of the Carafem Health Center Clinic in Mt. Juliet, Tennessee, where she participated in physically obstructing the clinic entrance for over two hours. Her convictions across both proceedings included conspiracy against rights, FACE Act violations, and clinic access obstruction.

James Zastrow, 25, of Eldon, Missouri, was among the defendants charged in connection with the March 5, 2021 blockade of the Carafem Health Center Clinic in Mt. Juliet, Tennessee, where participants physically blocked the clinic entrance for over two hours, preventing employees and a patient from accessing the facility. Unlike the seven co-defendants charged with felony conspiracy counts, Zastrow faced the misdemeanor charge: violation of the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act (18 U.S.C. § 248) for his direct participation in the physical obstruction. He was convicted at a separate trial in April 2024, alongside Eva Edl, Eva Zastrow, and Paul Place, in the Middle District of Tennessee. James Zastrow is related to Calvin Zastrow and Eva Zastrow, who were also prosecuted in connection with the same and related FACE Act incidents.

Jean Marshall, 74, was one of ten defendants who participated in a coordinated blockade of the Washington Surgi-Clinic, a reproductive health clinic in Washington, D.C., on October 22, 2020. Along with co-defendants Lauren Handy, Jonathan Darnel, Herb Geraghty, Heather Idoni, Joan Bell, John Hinshaw, William Goodman, Paulette Harlow, and Jay Smith, Marshall traveled to Washington to take part in what the group's leaders — Handy and Darnel — had organized as a "historic" pro-life rescue, livestreamed on Facebook. The defendants used force and physical obstruction to blockade two clinic entrances using their bodies, furniture, chains, and ropes, preventing staff and patients from accessing the facility. A clinic nurse was injured during the group's forced entry; one patient had to climb through a receptionist window, and another was left lying in the hallway outside in physical distress. Marshall was convicted at trial in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia of conspiracy against rights (18 U.S.C. § 241) and violation of the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act (FACE Act, 18 U.S.C. § 248). Her conviction came in September 2023 in the second of three separate trials in the case.

Joel Curry was one of seven pro-life activists convicted on August 20, 2024, in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan of conspiracy against rights (18 U.S.C. § 241) and violation of the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act (FACE Act, 18 U.S.C. § 248), arising out of a blockade of the Northland Family Planning Clinic in Sterling Heights, Michigan, on August 27, 2020. The blockade was organized as part of the "Michigan Holiness Revival Tour," a camping trip arranged by co-defendant Calvin Zastrow with the express purpose of blockading a reproductive health clinic. Curry and co-defendant Chester Gallagher livestreamed the blockade; the defendants collectively sat or stood in front of clinic entrances to prevent patients and employees from entering. Among those blocked was a patient whose fetus had been diagnosed with fatal abnormalities and for whom continuing the pregnancy posed serious risks to her health and fertility. Curry's co-defendants included Calvin Zastrow, Chester Gallagher, Heather Idoni, Justin Phillips, Eva Edl, and Eva Zastrow.

John Hinshaw, 69, was one of ten defendants who participated in a coordinated blockade of the Washington Surgi-Clinic, a reproductive health clinic in Washington, D.C., on October 22, 2020. Along with co-defendants Lauren Handy, Jonathan Darnel, Herb Geraghty, Heather Idoni, Jean Marshall, Joan Bell, William Goodman, Paulette Harlow, and Jay Smith, Hinshaw traveled to Washington to take part in what the group's leaders — Handy and Darnel — had organized as a "historic" rescue, livestreamed on Facebook. The defendants used force and physical obstruction to blockade two clinic entrances using their bodies, furniture, chains, and ropes, preventing staff and patients from accessing the facility. A clinic nurse was injured during the group's forced entry; one patient had to climb through a receptionist window to access the clinic, and another was left lying in the hallway outside in physical distress. Hinshaw was convicted at trial in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia of conspiracy against rights (18 U.S.C. § 241) and violation of the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act (FACE Act, 18 U.S.C. § 248). His conviction came on August 29, 2023, in the first of three separate trials in the case, alongside co-defendants Lauren Handy, William Goodman, Heather Idoni, and Herb Geraghty.

Jonathan Darnel, 43, was one of the two principal organizers of a coordinated blockade of the Washington Surgi-Clinic, a reproductive health clinic in Washington, D.C., on October 22, 2020. Darnel and co-defendant Lauren Handy led the planning and coordination of the clinic invasion, advertising the event on social media as a "historic" rescue and livestreaming it on Facebook. Along with eight other co-defendants — Handy, Herb Geraghty, Heather Idoni, Jean Marshall, Joan Bell, John Hinshaw, William Goodman, Paulette Harlow, and Jay Smith — Darnel organized the group's entry into the clinic, where they used their bodies, furniture, chains, and ropes to blockade two clinic entrances, preventing staff and patients from accessing the facility. A clinic nurse was injured during the group's forced entry; one patient had to climb through a receptionist window to access the clinic, and another was left lying in the hallway outside in physical distress. Darnel was convicted at trial in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia of conspiracy against rights (18 U.S.C. § 241) and violation of the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act (FACE Act, 18 U.S.C. § 248). His conviction came in September 2023 in the second of three separate trials in the case, alongside co-defendants Jean Marshall and Joan Bell.

Lauren Handy was the principal co-organizer, along with co-defendant Jonathan Darnel, of a coordinated blockade of the Washington Surgi-Clinic, a reproductive health clinic in Washington, D.C., on October 22, 2020. Handy and Darnel planned and organized the clinic invasion using social media, text messages, and phone calls, advertising the event as a "historic" rescue that was livestreamed on Facebook. Evidence at trial established that Handy arranged a fake patient appointment to secure the group's entry into the clinic. Once inside, she and co-defendants Herb Geraghty, Heather Idoni, Jean Marshall, Joan Bell, John Hinshaw, William Goodman, Paulette Harlow, and Jay Smith used their bodies, furniture, chains, and ropes to blockade two clinic entrances, preventing staff and patients from accessing the facility. A clinic nurse was injured during the forced entry; one patient had to climb through a receptionist window to access the clinic, and another was left lying in the hallway outside in physical distress. Handy was convicted at trial in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia of conspiracy against rights (18 U.S.C. § 241) and violation of the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act (FACE Act, 18 U.S.C. § 248). Her conviction came on August 29, 2023, in the first of three separate trials in the case.

Paulette Harlow, 75, of Kingston, Massachusetts, was one of ten defendants who participated in a coordinated blockade of the Washington Surgi-Clinic, a reproductive health clinic in Washington, D.C., on October 22, 2020. Along with co-defendants Lauren Handy, Jonathan Darnel, Herb Geraghty, Heather Idoni, Jean Marshall, Joan Bell, John Hinshaw, William Goodman, and Jay Smith, Harlow traveled to Washington to take part in what the group's leaders — Handy and Darnel — had organized as a "historic" rescue, livestreamed on Facebook. The defendants used force and physical obstruction to blockade two clinic entrances using their bodies, furniture, chains, and ropes, preventing staff and patients from accessing the facility. A clinic nurse was injured during the group's forced entry; one patient had to climb through a receptionist window to access the clinic, and another was left lying in the hallway outside in physical distress. Harlow was convicted at trial in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia of conspiracy against rights (18 U.S.C. § 241) and violation of the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act (FACE Act, 18 U.S.C. § 248). Her conviction came in November 2023 in the third and final of three separate trials in the case.

Paul Place, 24, was one of four defendants convicted in April 2024 of a misdemeanor violation of the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act (FACE Act, 18 U.S.C. § 248) in a bench trial in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee. The conviction arose from a March 5, 2021 blockade of the Carafem Health Center Clinic in Mt. Juliet, Tennessee. Place and co-defendants Eva Edl, Eva Zastrow, and James Zastrow sat in front of the clinic's main entrance for more than two hours, physically preventing patients and staff from accessing the facility. The blockade was part of the broader Mt. Juliet case that also resulted in felony conspiracy against rights and FACE Act convictions for seven other participants — including Chester Gallagher, Calvin Zastrow, Heather Idoni, Caroline Davis, Coleman Boyd, Dennis Green, and Paul Vaughn — who were charged and tried separately. Place's misdemeanor charge reflects his role in the physical obstruction rather than the felony conspiracy.

Herrera Velutini, a Venezuelan-British billionaire banker, was originally indicted in 2022 on seven felony counts of bribery, conspiracy, and honest services fraud. Prosecutors alleged he funneled $300,000 in contributions to a super PAC supporting former Puerto Rico Governor Wanda Vázquez Garced's reelection campaign in exchange for her pledge to remove a senior Puerto Rico banking regulator who was scrutinizing his bank, Bancredito International Bank. Under a plea agreement, the felony charges were dropped and Herrera Velutini pleaded guilty to a single federal misdemeanor count: making a contribution by a foreign national, a violation of the Federal Election Campaign Act's prohibition on foreign nationals contributing to U.S. political campaigns. Trump issued an amended pardon on January 20, 2026, before any sentence was imposed, and the case — United States v. Julio Herrera Velutini, No. 3:25-cr-297 — was dismissed in its entirety by Judge Silvia L. Carreño on January 27, 2026.

Vázquez Garced served as Governor of Puerto Rico from 2019 to 2021. She was originally indicted in 2022 on seven felony counts of bribery, conspiracy, and honest services fraud alongside Venezuelan-British banker Julio Herrera Velutini and former FBI agent Mark Rossini. Prosecutors alleged she accepted $300,000 in campaign contributions to a super PAC supporting her reelection — funded by Herrera Velutini — in exchange for her pledge to remove a senior Puerto Rico banking regulator who was scrutinizing Herrera Velutini's bank, Bancredito International Bank. The presiding judge, U.S. District Judge Silvia Carreño-Coll, publicly decried the government's "decision to shift gears at the eleventh hour" when prosecutors abandoned a case they described as strong in favor of a misdemeanor plea agreement. Under that plea, the felony charges were dropped and Vázquez Garced pleaded guilty to a single federal misdemeanor count: making a contribution by a foreign national, a violation of the Federal Election Campaign Act's prohibition on foreign nationals contributing to U.S. political campaigns. Trump issued an amended pardon on January 20, 2026, before any sentence was imposed, and the case — United States v. Julio Herrera Velutini, No. 3:25-cr-297 — was dismissed in its entirety on January 27, 2026.

Adriana Isabel Camberos, operating through her company Baja Exporting, ran a multimillion-dollar fraud scheme alongside her brother Andres Camberos between January 2019 and September 2023. The siblings misrepresented to manufacturers that wholesale groceries and other goods would be exported to Mexico or sold to prisons and rehabilitation facilities — categories that qualified for steep discounted pricing. Instead, they sold the products at higher prices to US distributors for the domestic market, causing manufacturers to lose tens of millions of dollars. Baja Exporting generated more than $58 million in gross profits through the scheme, with Adriana personally taking in over $12 million. A federal jury in San Diego convicted her on October 25, 2024, on one count of conspiracy to commit wire and mail fraud and seven counts of wire fraud and aiding and abetting. Notably, this was her second federal fraud case — Trump had commuted her sentence in 2021 for a separate conspiracy conviction during his first term.

Andres Enrique Camberos, operating through his company Specialty Foods International, ran a multimillion-dollar fraud scheme alongside his sister Adriana Camberos between January 2019 and September 2023. The siblings misrepresented to manufacturers that wholesale groceries and other goods would be exported to Mexico or sold to prisons and rehabilitation facilities — categories that qualified for steep discounted pricing. Instead, they sold the products at higher prices to US distributors for the domestic market, causing manufacturers to lose tens of millions of dollars. Specialty Foods International generated substantial profits through the scheme, with Andres personally paying himself over $14 million. A federal jury in San Diego convicted him on October 25, 2024, on one count of conspiracy to commit wire and mail fraud and seven counts of wire fraud and aiding and abetting.

Jacob Deutsch (also known as Yaakov Chaim Deutsch), a Brooklyn-based real estate developer, orchestrated a large-scale mortgage fraud scheme targeting multifamily apartment buildings in Hartford, Connecticut. Between 2016 and 2021, Deutsch and his co-conspirators acquired 17 multifamily properties in Hartford by securing 24 fraudulent mortgages from banks and secondary market lenders including Fannie Mae, totaling nearly $50 million. To obtain the loans, Deutsch submitted falsified rent rolls, forged tenant leases with invented signatures, fabricated utility bills and bank records, and staged vacant apartments with furniture and clothing before lender inspections to make them appear occupied. In one documented example, a 24-unit complex on Evergreen Avenue was completely vacant when Deutsch represented it as fully leased at above-market rents. Deutsch pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit mail fraud and wire fraud.

Jimmy Ray Barnett was convicted on multiple counts arising from a methamphetamine and amphetamine distribution conspiracy prosecuted in the Northern District of Texas. The charges, as recorded in the DOJ clemency warrant, were: conspiracy and aiding and abetting; possession with intent to distribute 50 grams or more of methamphetamine; possession with intent to distribute 50 grams or more of amphetamine; possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine; and being a convicted felon in possession of firearms. The felon-in-possession count indicates Barnett had prior felony convictions predating this federal case — consistent with a 1990 Texas Court of Criminal Appeals record showing a probation revocation for amphetamine possession.

Mark T. Rossini, a former FBI special agent, was charged as a co-conspirator in the scheme to bribe Puerto Rico Governor Wanda Vázquez Garced. Rossini served as the key intermediary between Venezuelan banker Julio Herrera Velutini and the governor, using his connections to facilitate the corrupt arrangement. Beginning in 2019, while Herrera Velutini's bank was under regulatory examination by Puerto Rico's Office of the Commissioner of Financial Institutions (OCIF), Rossini worked alongside Herrera Velutini to offer funding for Vázquez Garced's 2020 gubernatorial campaign in exchange for her removing the OCIF commissioner and replacing him with a candidate favorable to Herrera Velutini. The governor accepted, fired the commissioner in February 2020, and appointed his replacement three months later. Rossini was indicted in August 2022 on felony counts of conspiracy, federal program bribery, and honest services wire fraud. In mid-2025 the DOJ reached a deal for all three defendants to plead guilty to a single misdemeanor — accepting a pledge of campaign contributions from a foreign national — before Rossini was pardoned alongside his co-defendants on January 15, 2026, and the case was dismissed.

Wanda Vázquez Garced served as Governor of Puerto Rico from 2019 to 2021 and became the first sitting or former Puerto Rico governor to be convicted of a crime. She was charged with accepting a corrupt offer from Venezuelan banker Julio Herrera Velutini, brokered through former FBI agent Mark Rossini: in exchange for campaign funding for her 2020 gubernatorial race, she agreed to remove Puerto Rico's top banking regulator, who was at the time scrutinizing one of Herrera Velutini's banks. Vázquez Garced accepted the arrangement, demanded the resignation of the Office of the Commissioner of Financial Institutions (OCIF) commissioner in February 2020, and three months later appointed a former consultant for Herrera Velutini's bank as his replacement. Originally indicted in August 2022 on felony counts of conspiracy, federal program bribery, and honest services wire fraud — each carrying up to 20 years in prison — she ultimately pleaded guilty in mid-2025 to a single misdemeanor: accepting a pledge of political contributions from a foreign national in violation of the Federal Election Campaign Act, an amount described in the plea as "more than $2,000 and less than $25,000." She was pardoned before the scheduled sentencing hearing.

Zechariah Benjamin was convicted by a jury in the Northern District of Iowa in 2008 on multiple counts of distributing and conspiring to distribute crack cocaine (cocaine base). The specific charges were: distributing and aiding and abetting the distribution of 5 grams or more of cocaine base after having been convicted of two prior felony drug offenses; a second count of distributing 5 grams or more of cocaine base after two prior felony drug offenses; and conspiracy to distribute and possess with intent to distribute 50 grams or more of cocaine base after two prior felony drug offenses. The prior felony drug convictions that triggered the enhanced sentencing were at least two prior convictions for delivering cocaine in Illinois. Under 21 U.S.C. § 841(b)(1)(A) as it stood at the time, two prior felony drug convictions combined with the drug quantities involved made life imprisonment the mandatory minimum — the sentencing judge had no discretion to impose a lesser term. Benjamin subsequently sought relief under § 404 of the First Step Act of 2018, which made the Fair Sentencing Act's crack cocaine reforms retroactively applicable. The district court denied his motion, and the Eighth Circuit affirmed that denial nine days before his commutation.

Cade Cothren served as chief of staff to Glen Casada, former Speaker of the Tennessee House of Representatives. Together they operated a political consulting company called Phoenix Solutions, with Cothren playing the role of "Matthew Phoenix" — a fictitious person he invented to serve as the company's proprietor, obscuring the pair's control of the firm. The scheme involved using their positions in the Tennessee legislature to steer taxpayer-funded constituent mailer contracts from other legislators to Phoenix Solutions, funneling public money to themselves. Cothren managed the day-to-day operations under his false identity, handling contracts with campaigns and legislative offices. Both men were convicted in federal court on charges of conspiracy to defraud the United States, honest services wire fraud, conspiracy to commit money laundering, and multiple counts of money laundering.

Sunseri, a 27-year-old competitive ultrarunner from Driggs, Idaho, was convicted of violating National Park Service regulations in Grand Teton National Park. On September 2, 2024, he climbed and descended the 13,775-foot Grand Teton in 2 hours and 50 minutes — beating the previous fastest known time by nearly three minutes. In doing so, he briefly left the designated Garnet Canyon Trail to take a shortcut via the Old Climber's Trail, a route that the park's Superintendent had restricted in the 2024 Compendium of Designations, Closures, Permit Requirements and Other Restrictions. The restriction was intended to protect fragile alpine terrain. Federal prosecutors in the District of Wyoming charged Sunseri under 36 C.F.R. § 1.3, which makes it a criminal offense to violate a Superintendent's Compendium order. He was found guilty at trial in 2025 and faced a fine of up to $5,000 or six months in jail, though sentencing had not yet occurred when Trump pardoned him on November 7, 2025.

Imaad Shah Zuberi, a venture capitalist based in Arcadia, California, who served as a major political fundraiser for both Democratic and Republican candidates, was convicted on multiple charges arising from a years-long scheme involving unregistered foreign lobbying, tax evasion, illegal campaign contributions, and witness tampering. Zuberi acted as an unregistered agent of the Sri Lankan government, receiving $6.5 million from Colombo to engage in lobbying and public relations activities targeting US officials — while concealing his role on required Foreign Agents Registration Act filings and pocketing more than $5.65 million of those funds personally, which he also failed to report as taxable income. He similarly acted on behalf of interests connected to Bahrain. Zuberi also funneled approximately $900,000 in illegal contributions — including money sourced from foreign nationals — through his shell company to Donald Trump's 2017 presidential inaugural committee, using political access gained through those donations to lobby US officials on behalf of foreign principals. When investigators began examining the inaugural committee, Zuberi tampered with a witness to impede the probe. He pleaded guilty in November 2019 to FARA violations, tax evasion, and illegal campaign contributions, and in a separate plea in June 2020 to witness tampering.

Charles Overton Scott, a businessman from Arlington, Virginia, was convicted for his role in a scheme to manipulate the stock of US Lighting Group (USLG), a small Euclid, Ohio-based LED lighting company whose shares traded on the over-the-counter market as a penny stock. Between 2016 and 2019, USLG's CEO Paul Spivak and co-conspirators took the company public through a reverse merger with a shell company and artificially inflated its stock price through pump-and-dump tactics including the use of call rooms. In 2021, Scott and Spivak engaged directly with undercover federal agents and a confidential informant, arranging for Scott to sell free-trading USLG shares to the undercover operatives at manipulated prices, then kick back approximately half the proceeds to USLG in exchange for additional restricted stock. The scheme defrauded investors of nearly $7 million. Both men were convicted at trial in October 2024; Spivak received 17.5 years in prison while Scott was sentenced to 42 months. Scott served only two weeks before receiving his pardon.

Marian I. Morgan, together with her husband John Morgan, ran Morgan European Holdings, a Sarasota, Florida-based investment firm that operated as a fraudulent scheme from approximately 2005 to 2009. The couple promoted sham "high yield/prime bank note" investment programs, falsely promising investors returns of 200 to 300 percent within three months and assuring them that their principal funds would be held securely in an escrow account in Denmark. Between 2005 and 2009, the Morgans took in more than $28 million from investors, returning some funds as Ponzi payments while spending over $10 million of investor money on themselves — purchasing luxury automobiles, a waterfront mansion, and other luxury items shortly after investors wired their funds. Marian Morgan was convicted on all 22 counts following a three-week trial in September 2011. Her husband John Morgan separately pleaded guilty to conspiracy and money laundering and was sentenced to 121 months in prison. Several of Marian Morgan's victims were later reported to be Trump supporters, making her commutation particularly controversial.

Ozy Media, Inc. was a digital news and entertainment startup founded by Carlos Watson that was convicted alongside its founder for defrauding investors and lenders. The company promoted itself to investors with false claims, including fabricated partnerships with Google and Oprah Winfrey. The scheme came to public attention in October 2021 when the New York Times reported that Ozy's chief operating officer had impersonated a YouTube executive on a conference call with Goldman Sachs to secure investment. The company abruptly shut down following that report. Ozy Media, Inc. was convicted by a jury in Brooklyn federal court in July 2024 on charges of conspiracy to commit securities fraud and conspiracy to commit wire fraud. Its sentencing as a corporate entity was notable; presidential clemency extended to a company as a distinct legal entity is highly unusual in American history.

Arthur Hayes was co-founder and CEO of BitMEX, one of the world's largest cryptocurrency derivatives exchanges. Federal prosecutors charged Hayes and his co-founders with willfully failing to establish and maintain an adequate anti-money laundering program in violation of the Bank Secrecy Act. BitMEX marketed itself as a platform where customers could trade virtually anonymously, deliberately avoiding the know-your-customer (KYC) and anti-money laundering procedures that US law requires of financial institutions. The DOJ alleged this made BitMEX an attractive vehicle for drug traffickers and other criminals to move money. Hayes, along with co-founders Benjamin Delo and Samuel Reed and employee Gregory Dwyer, were charged in 2020. All four pleaded guilty in 2022 to one count each of violating the Bank Secrecy Act. Hayes also agreed to pay a $10 million fine as part of his plea.

Jean Pinkard was a nurse practitioner from Farmington Hills, Michigan, who was 63 years old at the time of her indictment. She was among nineteen people charged in June 2020 by the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of Michigan in connection with a large-scale illegal opioid prescription scheme centered on the Detroit area. The scheme was run by John Henry Rankin III, who owned and managed two rehabilitation clinics — New Vision Rehab and Preferred Rehab. From September 2017 through June 2020, Rankin paid doctors, nurse practitioners, and other medical professionals, including Pinkard, to write prescriptions for controlled substances for "fake patients" who had no legitimate medical need for the drugs. At times, prescriptions were written for patients who were never examined, with patient names simply provided so that prescriptions and charts could be completed without any encounter taking place. Patient recruiters — referred to in court documents as "marketers" — were paid to maintain a supply of fake patients and funnel them through the clinics. The drugs prescribed included Schedule II opioids: oxycodone, oxymorphone, Percocet (oxycodone-acetaminophen), hydrocodone, and hydrocodone-acetaminophen, as well as promethazine with codeine cough syrup. The medical professionals named in the indictment collectively prescribed more than 1,951,148 dosage units of Schedule II controlled substances. The oxycodone and oxymorphone alone carried a conservative street value of more than $41 million. Pinkard reached a plea agreement and was convicted of conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute and to distribute controlled substances.

Eva Edl, 87, of Aiken, South Carolina — a survivor of a communist concentration camp in post-war Yugoslavia — was convicted of FACE Act offenses across two federal jurisdictions. In the Middle District of Tennessee, she was convicted of violation of the FACE Act and clinic access obstruction for her participation in the March 5, 2021 blockade of the Carafem Health Center Clinic in Mt. Juliet, Tennessee, where she and other defendants physically blocked the clinic entrance for over two hours, preventing employees and a patient from accessing the facility. Separately, in the Eastern District of Michigan, she was convicted of conspiracy against rights and FACE Act violations arising from two additional incidents: an August 27, 2020 blockade of an abortion clinic in Sterling Heights, Michigan, where she allegedly attempted to stall police officers from ending the blockade; and an April 16, 2021 obstruction at a clinic in Saginaw, Michigan, where she sat in front of a door and placed a doorstop against it to prevent staff from opening it from the inside.

Herb Geraghty, an atheist pro-life activist, was among several defendants convicted in the District of Columbia for their roles in the October 22, 2020 blockade of the Washington Surgi-Clinic, a late-term abortion facility in Washington, D.C. According to prosecutors, Geraghty assisted co-defendant Lauren Handy in planning the blockade, in which participants entered the clinic and used chairs, chains, and ropes to block the entrance and prevent staff from providing and patients from receiving reproductive health services; a nurse sustained an ankle injury during the entry. A jury found in August 2023 that Geraghty used force or violence against clinic employees, or aided and abetted co-defendants in doing so. Geraghty was convicted of conspiracy against rights (18 U.S.C. § 241) and violation of the FACE Act (18 U.S.C. § 248), making Geraghty the first openly atheist defendant indicted and convicted under the FACE Act.

Christopher Kuehne, 50, of Olathe, Kansas, a former Marine associated with the Kansas City chapter of the Proud Boys, conspired with other members to disrupt the electoral college count, arriving at the Capitol outfitted in a ballistic helmet and protective gloves prepared for confrontation; he ignored orders to leave after the Jan. 6, 2021 riot began, climbed a wall to reach the Upper West Terrace, entered through a Senate Wing door, and in the Crypt helped move a lectern to block officers from closing a metal door, allowing rioters to push further into the building. He pleaded guilty to a felony count of obstruction of law enforcement during a civil disorder, with conspiracy and other charges dismissed. He was sentenced on 2/23/2024 to 75 days of incarceration, 24 months of supervised release including 60 days of location monitoring, a $100 special assessment, and $2,000 in restitution.

Connie Meggs, the wife of Oath Keepers Florida chapter leader Kelly Meggs, donned a ballistic helmet, an Oath Keepers hat, and tactical vest and joined a military-style "stack" of Oath Keepers members that pushed into the U.S. Capitol during the Jan. 6, 2021 riot; prosecutors said she was "far from a hapless tag-along" and fully participated in the group's conspiracy. She pleaded not guilty to all charges; a jury found her guilty on 3/20/2023 of conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding, obstruction of an official proceeding, conspiracy to prevent an officer from discharging duties, destruction of government property, and entering a restricted building. At her sentencing, she broke with her husband, tearfully telling the court she was "so angry" at him for what he had done to their family. She was sentenced on 8/30/2023 to 15 months of incarceration, 36 months of supervised release, a $425 special assessment, and $500 in restitution.

Proud Boys leader convicted of seditious conspiracy and obstruction of an official proceeding for his role organising the January 6 Capitol attack.

Rossini, a former FBI counterintelligence agent who had become a private consultant and lobbyist, was a co-defendant in the same Puerto Rico bribery scheme as banker Julio Herrera Velutini. Prosecutors originally charged all three defendants — Herrera Velutini, Rossini, and former Governor Wanda Vázquez Garced — on seven felony counts of bribery, conspiracy, and honest services fraud, alleging they conspired to funnel $300,000 in campaign contributions to Vázquez Garced's reelection super PAC in exchange for her pledge to remove a Puerto Rico banking regulator scrutinizing Herrera Velutini's bank, Bancredito International Bank. Rossini's role was as a consultant and facilitator for Herrera Velutini in that scheme. Under a plea agreement, the felony charges were dropped and Rossini pleaded guilty to a single federal misdemeanor count: making a contribution by a foreign national, a violation of the Federal Election Campaign Act's prohibition on foreign nationals contributing to U.S. political campaigns. Trump issued an amended pardon on January 20, 2026, before any sentence was imposed, and the case — United States v. Julio Herrera Velutini, No. 3:25-cr-297 — was dismissed in its entirety on January 27, 2026.

Angela Reynolds received and distributed methamphetamine in the Dallas-Fort Worth area as part of a larger drug conspiracy. Federal agents identified her as a suspect, obtained a warrant to search her home, and found two bags of methamphetamine inside. Reynolds subsequently cooperated with investigators and assisted in the arrest of other members of the conspiracy. She was charged alongside ten co-defendants and pleaded guilty to a conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute a controlled substance. At sentencing, Reynolds was held responsible for approximately 1.7 kilograms of pure methamphetamine: 44.75 grams of a methamphetamine mixture seized from her home, plus 1.701 kilograms she admitted to receiving from co-defendants. Her presentence report assigned a total offense level of 37 and criminal history category VI — the highest possible — reflecting multiple prior felony convictions, which also classified her as a career offender under the Sentencing Guidelines. The advisory guideline range was 360 months to life, capped at 360 to 480 months by the statutory 40-year maximum.

Angela Wannette Cupit, 41, was part of a methamphetamine distribution conspiracy prosecuted in the Northern District of Texas. In August 2015 she pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute 50 grams or more of methamphetamine. Two co-defendants — Shawn Travis Cathey and Phillip Schenck — pleaded guilty to the same charge in the same proceeding, with six further co-defendants also charged in the conspiracy. The investigation was conducted by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, the Drug Enforcement Administration, and the Texas Department of Public Safety.

De Jong was the owner of Diamond Environmental Services, a portable toilet company based in San Marcos, California. Beginning around 2009, he and the company's chief operating officer, Warren L. Van Dam, orchestrated a scheme in which drivers routinely dumped the contents of portable toilet trucks — raw human waste — directly into municipal sewer lines at company facilities in San Diego, San Marcos, Perris, Fullerton, and Huntington Park, rather than transporting the waste to licensed disposal facilities and paying the required treatment fees. The scheme allowed the company to avoid millions of dollars in legitimate disposal costs, with the savings flowing directly to De Jong as profit. De Jong pleaded guilty in June 2017 to one count of conspiracy to violate the Clean Water Act (18 U.S.C. § 371 / 33 U.S.C. § 1311) in the Southern District of California. The case — United States v. Diamond Environmental Services LP, No. 3:17-cr-01305 — also resulted in a separate perjury conviction for a company compliance officer who lied to investigators.

David Levy was Co-Chief Investment Officer of Platinum Partners L.P., a New York City-based hedge fund. Between approximately November 2011 and December 2016, Levy and Platinum's founder Mark Nordlicht orchestrated a scheme to defraud third-party bondholders of Black Elk Energy, an oil company that was one of Platinum's largest assets with $150 million in publicly traded bonds. Levy and his co-conspirators secretly purchased $98 million of those bonds on the open market and then transferred them through a series of related entities to conceal Platinum's ownership and control. They then rigged a consent solicitation vote to amend Black Elk's bond indenture so that proceeds from the sale of the company's most valuable oil fields would flow to preferred equity — held by Platinum and its insiders — rather than to the bondholders who held legal priority. After the rigged vote succeeded, the conspirators distributed millions from the asset sale to themselves and associates, with Levy receiving approximately $250,000 personally. A federal jury in the Eastern District of New York convicted Levy of securities fraud and securities fraud conspiracy in July 2019. The case had a protracted procedural history spanning several years of appeals and retrial proceedings before sentencing was finally imposed in January 2024.

Hollie Ann Nadel's conviction arose directly from her exploitation by a Roma sex and labor trafficking organization that manipulated her into participating in financial schemes while transporting her across the country. Lured into the trafficking ring and operating under coercion, Nadel was used by her traffickers to commit fraud against others. Her attorneys at Ifrah Law negotiated a plea agreement limiting the charges to a single conspiracy count — conspiracy to commit money laundering and bank fraud — rather than the broader charges originally filed. Nadel's cooperation with federal prosecutors proved pivotal to the subsequent prosecution of her traffickers: five Roma conspirators were indicted as a result of her assistance and all were sentenced to prison. Following her pardon, Nadel became an advocate for trafficking survivors, testifying before Congress in support of the Frederick Douglass Trafficking Victims Prevention and Protection Act of 2025, which would allow survivors to seek judicial relief from convictions stemming from their exploitation.

Juan Mercado III was convicted on two counts in the Southern District of Texas, sentenced on December 12, 2012. The primary count was conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute 2,160.02 kilograms of marijuana — over two metric tons. The second count was a supervised release violation arising from a prior federal conviction for conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute five kilograms or more of cocaine, indicating Mercado had previously been convicted of a serious federal drug offense and was still under court supervision when the marijuana conspiracy occurred.

Imelda Rios Cuellar, wife of former Texas Congressman Henry Cuellar (D-Laredo), was indicted alongside her husband in May 2024 in a scheme in which the pair allegedly accepted approximately $600,000 in bribes from two foreign entities: an oil and gas company owned by the government of Azerbaijan, and a bank headquartered in Mexico City. In exchange, Henry Cuellar used his position in Congress to take official actions favorable to the interests of those foreign principals. Imelda Cuellar's role was to receive and launder the bribe payments: the funds were routed through sham consulting contracts, passing through front companies and middlemen before landing in shell companies that she owned and controlled. She faced charges of conspiracy, bribery, honest services wire fraud, money laundering conspiracy, and five counts of money laundering. The couple were pardoned before the case went to trial.

Kaye, a resident of Boca Raton, Florida, was convicted by a jury of transmitting an interstate threat to injure, a violation of 18 U.S.C. § 875(c). The case arose in the aftermath of the 2021 certification riot in Washington, D.C.: the FBI received a tip on January 16, 2021 suggesting Kaye may have been present at the riot or had knowledge of individuals involved. Agents contacted her by phone on January 28 to request an interview, and days later Kaye posted videos online in which she threatened to shoot FBI agents if they came to her door. She was not charged with any riot-related offense and testified at trial that she did not own any guns and did not intend the statements as genuine threats. The jury convicted her nonetheless.

Robert Henry Harshbarger Jr., a licensed pharmacist, was convicted of substituting an unapproved drug for a medically necessary treatment prescribed to kidney dialysis patients. Instead of dispensing the FDA-approved iron sucrose — used to treat iron deficiency anemia in dialysis patients — Harshbarger substituted a cheaper version of the drug imported from China that had not been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration, while billing as though the approved product had been dispensed. He pleaded guilty to one count each of introducing misbranded drugs into interstate commerce and health care fraud. Harshbarger is the husband of Rep. Diana Harshbarger (R-TN); his pardon in November 2025 was not publicly announced by the White House and came to light only through a posting on the Justice Department's Office of the Pardon Attorney website.

Anabel Valenzuela and her husband Benjamin Acuna led a large drug trafficking organization that operated from Las Vegas and shipped thousands of pounds of methamphetamine to Hawaii between 2002 and September 2005. The organization distributed approximately 2,000 pounds of methamphetamine in Hawaii, generating around $8 million in profits. The scheme was uncovered through a three-year investigation by the Drug Enforcement Administration and the IRS Criminal Investigation division in Las Vegas, resulting in the prosecution and conviction of 23 people. Valenzuela was convicted by a jury in federal court in Hawaii alongside Acuna and a third defendant, Eddy Olguin. In addition to her prison sentence, she forfeited her interests in five Las Vegas properties and was ordered to forfeit an $8 million judgment representing the organization's drug proceeds.

Garnett Gilbert Smith — also known as Abdule Jones and Brian Slack — ran one of the most significant cocaine distribution operations prosecuted by federal authorities in Baltimore in recent years. According to the DEA, Smith was responsible for distributing more than 1,000 kilograms of cocaine over the course of less than two years. At his January 2014 sentencing, Gary Tuggle, then the assistant special agent in charge of the DEA's Baltimore field office, described Smith as "one of the largest cocaine and heroin dealers to be arrested by the DEA in recent history." Before his arrest, Smith displayed an extravagant lifestyle that prosecutors detailed in court. He owned a fleet of high-end cars, stayed at the Montage Hotel in Beverly Hills, and spent hundreds of thousands of dollars at Gucci, Cartier, and Louis Vuitton. He was convicted in federal court of one count of conspiracy to distribute and possess with intent to distribute cocaine.

Gaulden, known professionally as NBA YoungBoy, is a rapper from Baton Rouge, Louisiana who was already a convicted felon when he was found to be in possession of multiple firearms. Federal law under 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1) prohibits convicted felons from possessing firearms or ammunition. Prosecutors alleged he possessed a Glock 21 .45-caliber pistol and a Masterpiece Arms MPA30T 9mm handgun while filming a rap video in Baton Rouge, and a Sig Sauer 9mm semi-automatic pistol at his home in Huntsville, Utah. His plea agreement resolved both Utah state charges and two separate sets of federal charges against him. The case resulting in the 23-month sentence was prosecuted in the District of Utah. Gaulden was released from federal prison in March 2025 after receiving credit for time served and placed on home confinement. The pardon, granted May 28, 2025, erased the conviction and freed him from the remaining probation terms, including substance testing requirements.

Lawrence S. Duran, owner of American Therapeutic Corporation (ATC) — a Miami-area mental health company — orchestrated what became one of the largest Medicare fraud schemes in US history. From 2002 until his arrest in October 2010, Duran and his co-conspirators used ATC and a related company, Medlink, to systematically defraud Medicare by targeting patients with Alzheimer's disease and severe dementia at assisted living facilities and halfway houses. The scheme involved paying illegal kickbacks to facility owners, operators, and patient brokers in exchange for referring ineligible patients to ATC's partial hospitalization programs — programs that provided no legitimate psychiatric treatment. Patient medical charts were falsified to make it appear that services had been provided and that patients qualified for the billed treatments. ATC submitted approximately $205 million in fraudulent Medicare claims, of which Medicare paid out roughly $87 million. Duran's 50-year sentence upon conviction was the longest ever imposed in a Medicare Fraud Strike Force case.

Bashaw was a First Lieutenant in the U.S. Army serving as an entomologist at the Army Public Health Center at Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland. In 2022, he was tried by court-martial and convicted on two counts of violating lawful orders under Article 92 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice for refusing to comply with Army COVID-19 prevention protocols — specifically refusing to telework as directed, submit a negative COVID-19 test, and wear a mask indoors. He was the first known member of the U.S. military to be convicted by court-martial for disobeying coronavirus prevention directives. The presiding military judge declined to impose any punishment, but Bashaw was discharged from the military in 2023 following the sentencing. The conviction nonetheless left him with a criminal record, which the pardon erased.

Gregory Dwyer was the Head of Business Development at BitMEX, the cryptocurrency derivatives exchange co-founded by Arthur Hayes, Benjamin Delo, and Samuel Reed. Along with the three co-founders, Dwyer was charged in 2020 with willfully failing to establish and maintain an adequate anti-money laundering program in violation of the Bank Secrecy Act. BitMEX deliberately operated without the know-your-customer and anti-money laundering controls required of US financial institutions, marketing itself as a platform where users could trade virtually anonymously — an arrangement prosecutors alleged made it attractive for drug traffickers and other criminals to move funds. Dwyer pleaded guilty to one count of violating the Bank Secrecy Act and was the last of the four defendants to be sentenced.

HDR Global Trading Limited was the parent company that owned and operated BitMEX, the cryptocurrency derivatives exchange whose founders were simultaneously charged with Bank Secrecy Act violations. HDR Global pleaded guilty as a corporate entity to one count of willfully failing to establish, implement, and maintain an adequate anti-money laundering program as required by US law. The company had operated BitMEX without the know-your-customer controls and anti-money laundering procedures that financial institutions are required to maintain, allowing users to trade anonymously in a manner that prosecutors alleged facilitated money laundering by drug traffickers and other criminals. HDR Global was sentenced separately from its individual co-founders and employees, with its sentencing occurring on January 15, 2025 — five days before Trump's second inauguration — with a $100 million fine imposed.

Samuel Reed was a co-founder and the Chief Technology Officer of BitMEX, the cryptocurrency derivatives exchange. Along with co-founders Arthur Hayes and Benjamin Delo, and employee Gregory Dwyer, Reed was charged in 2020 with willfully failing to establish and maintain an adequate anti-money laundering program in violation of the Bank Secrecy Act. BitMEX deliberately operated without know-your-customer and anti-money laundering controls, marketing itself as a platform where users could trade virtually anonymously — an arrangement prosecutors alleged facilitated money laundering by drug traffickers and other criminals. Reed pleaded guilty to one count of violating the Bank Secrecy Act. As CTO, Reed was responsible for building and maintaining the technical infrastructure that enabled the exchange's anonymous operation.

Williams, a Tennessee-based anti-abortion activist, was convicted after a nine-day jury trial on February 22, 2024, before U.S. District Judge Jennifer L. Rochon in the Southern District of New York. She was found guilty of one count of violating the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act (18 U.S.C. § 248), which prohibits the use of force, threat of force, or physical obstruction to prevent individuals from obtaining or providing reproductive health services. On June 19 and 20, 2020, Williams used physical force and threats against patients and staff at a Planned Parenthood clinic in lower Manhattan, repeatedly blocked clinic doors to prevent access, and crushed a staff member's hand in the clinic door. Prosecutors also presented evidence of a broader campaign from at least 2019 through 2022 in which Williams engaged in similar intimidation and interference at reproductive health clinics across multiple states, including Florida, Tennessee, Georgia, and Brooklyn. She was among approximately 23 pro-life activists pardoned by Trump on January 23, 2025 — his fourth day in office.

Jay Smith, 32, of Freeport, New York, was among ten defendants charged in connection with the October 22, 2020 blockade of a reproductive health care clinic in Washington, D.C. — the same Washington Surgi-Clinic invasion that also resulted in convictions for Lauren Handy, Paulette Harlow, Jean Marshall, John Hinshaw, Heather Idoni, William Goodman, Herb Geraghty, and Joan Bell. Rather than proceeding to trial with most of his co-defendants, Smith entered a guilty plea on March 1, 2023 to a felony charge of violating the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act (18 U.S.C. § 248). The charge alleged that Smith used force and physical obstruction to intentionally injure, intimidate, and interfere with a nurse and other employees of the clinic because of the reproductive health services being provided, and that his conduct resulted in bodily injury to the clinic nurse. The case was prosecuted by the Civil Rights Division and the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Columbia before U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly.

Proud Boy convicted of obstruction of an official proceeding and robbery for his role in the January 6 Capitol attack, including smashing a window to allow rioters entry.

Proud Boys leader convicted of seditious conspiracy and obstruction of an official proceeding for his role organising the January 6 Capitol attack.

Jan 6 Capitol rioter known as the "QAnon Shaman", convicted of obstruction of an official proceeding for his prominent role in the January 6, 2021 Capitol attack.

James Ray Epps, a former Marine and Arizona resident, became the unwitting central figure of a right-wing conspiracy theory claiming he was an undercover government agent who incited the Jan. 6, 2021 Capitol riot to entrap Trump supporters — a claim prosecutors and the government explicitly denied, saying Epps was never a confidential source or agent. On the day of the riot, Epps encouraged the crowd and helped push a large metal-framed sign into a line of officers and joined a "rugby scrum"-like push against police, though he also attempted to de-escalate conflicts between rioters and police at least five times and turned himself in to the FBI two days later. He pleaded guilty in September 2023 to disorderly conduct in a restricted area and was sentenced on Jan. 9, 2024 to one year of probation and 100 hours of community service; he was later driven into hiding by death threats stemming from the conspiracy theory and filed a defamation lawsuit against Fox News.

Laura Steele, a former North Carolina police officer from Thomasville who joined the Oath Keepers just days before the Jan. 6, 2021 riot, donned paramilitary gear and marched up the east side of the U.S. Capitol in a coordinated military "stack" formation with eleven other group members, hands on shoulders, before the group breached a door and stormed the building; the day after the riot, she and her brother, Graydon Young, used a backyard burn pit to destroy evidence of their involvement. She pleaded not guilty to all charges; a jury convicted her in March 2023 of conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding, obstruction of an official proceeding, conspiracy to prevent an officer from discharging a duty, destruction of government property, and tampering with documents or proceedings, all felonies. She was sentenced on 9/15/2023 to 12 months and one day of incarceration, 36 months of supervised release including 6 months of home detention, a $625 special assessment, and 100 hours of community service.

Sandra "Sandy" Pomeroy Weyer, of Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania, traveled to Washington, D.C. and was among the first rioters to breach police barricades on the East Front of the U.S. Capitol during the Jan. 6, 2021 riot; she stood by broadcasting on Facebook Live while a group of rioters surrounded, pushed down, and assaulted New York Times photographer Erin Schaff, stealing her cameras as she cried for help. She pleaded not guilty to all charges; a jury convicted her in June 2023 on five counts, including obstruction of an official proceeding, entering and remaining in a restricted building, and disorderly conduct. She was sentenced on 9/14/2023 to 14 months of incarceration, 12 months of supervised release, $2,000 in restitution, and a $170 special assessment; after the D.C. Circuit vacated her obstruction conviction on 9/9/2024, she was resentenced on 10/30/2024 to time served, 12 concurrent months of supervised release, a $40 special assessment, and $500 in restitution.

Harvard was chairman and chief executive officer of Willow Bend National Bank, a federally insured institution in the Dallas area, and chairman of Willow Bend Bancshares — the holding company that also controlled Bonham State Bank — all while serving as mayor of Plano, Texas in the mid-1980s. His convictions arose from three overlapping schemes. In 1987, Dallas businesswoman Diana Cheng approached Willow Bend for a $400,000 loan and a $1 million letter of credit to fund an Indonesian lumber import deal. Because Cheng had reached her borrowing limit, Harvard arranged the financing on the condition that she give him a 10% share of the import business — a corrupt payment in exchange for a bank loan. Cheng secured the loan by pledging a fictitious collateral note payable by a nonexistent party (the "Donge note"); Harvard then arranged for an acquaintance to purchase the note off Willow Bend's books using funds borrowed from the bank itself, disguising the transaction's true nature. Harvard received $10,000 in cash from Cheng. He was convicted of conspiracy, bank bribery, misapplying bank funds, and making false entries in bank records in connection with these loans. Harvard also arranged refinancing of a strip mall loan for the Plano-Shiloh Joint Venture — in which he held a 10% interest — at Bonham State Bank, where he sat as a director. He misrepresented the property's financial condition to Bonham's board (falsely claiming the center was generating cash and 100% leased), allowed the loan to close on personal guarantee agreements he knew were fatally defective, and secretly collected a $10,640 "consulting fee" from Joint Venture loan proceeds without disclosing it to the bank. He was convicted of bank fraud in connection with this transaction. In March 1989, Harvard took two blank cashier's checks from a Willow Bend teller without authorization and in violation of the bank's required logging procedures. He completed one check for $166,201 and used it to purchase a house at a foreclosure auction before he had the funds to cover it, leaving Willow Bend exposed to the obligation for months and causing the bank an actual cash loss. He was convicted of aiding and abetting the misapplication of Willow Bend funds in connection with this scheme.

Smith was an Army Reserve sergeant stationed at Army Reserve centers in Tennessee. Between 2003 and 2007, he and two fellow Reserve sergeants — Harold Grady and Gregory Murray — discovered they could exploit a federal surplus property program that allowed government agencies to request excess equipment from other federal agencies for official use. The program required that all requested equipment remain government property and be used solely for official federal purposes. Smith's role was the most extensive of the three. He filed phony letters on official Army letterhead and fabricated supporting documentation falsely stating that the computers and equipment he requested would be sent to soldiers in Iraq in support of "Operation Enduring Freedom." Using this cover, he obtained computers and other equipment from multiple federal agencies — including the Centers for Disease Control, the U.S. Air Force, NASA, the Department of Transportation, the Department of Veterans Affairs, and the U.S. Army — then sold the stolen equipment to computer stores in Georgia and Tennessee. Grady and Murray participated on a smaller scale, obtaining equipment solely from the CDC and reselling it through private sales, newspaper listings, and eBay. All three pleaded guilty to theft of government property (18 U.S.C. § 641) and were sentenced on March 24, 2010, by U.S. District Judge Orinda D. Evans in the Northern District of Georgia. Smith received the heaviest sentence reflecting the scope and sophistication of his role.

James Kernan and his wife Marlene ran two insurance businesses in Oriskany, New York — Oriska Insurance Company and the Monument Agency. Between 2002 and 2005, they employed a three-time convicted felon at their companies. Federal law under 18 U.S.C. § 1033(e) prohibits anyone from knowingly permitting a person convicted of a felony involving dishonesty or breach of trust to participate in the business of insurance. The FBI raided the Oriska office on Utica Street in July 2006, initially investigating the companies on suspicion of also offering unauthorized workers' compensation insurance policies. Both Kernans were convicted in 2009 in the Northern District of New York for their roles in employing the felon. James, as the more culpable party, received the heavier sentence; Marlene was separately charged with permitting a convicted felon to engage in the business of insurance.

Moore, a diver, was out on the water approximately three miles off Jupiter Inlet, Florida, in August 2020 when he and crew member Tanner Mansell spotted a longline they believed to be an illegal fishing rig. The pair freed the sharks and a grouper caught on the line, reported the incident to state wildlife officials, and brought the line back to shore. The line turned out to belong to a researcher licensed by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to catch sharks for scientific purposes. Federal prosecutors charged Moore and Mansell with theft of property within special maritime and territorial jurisdiction under 18 U.S.C. § 661, covering theft of property belonging to another within federal maritime jurisdiction. Both were convicted in 2022. The felony convictions barred them from voting in Florida, owning firearms, and traveling freely outside the United States. Moore said he and his attorneys were surprised by the pardon, as they had not petitioned for one.

Marlene Kernan co-owned and operated Oriska Insurance Company and the Monument Agency in Oriskany, New York, alongside her husband James Kernan. Between 2002 and 2005, the companies employed a three-time convicted felon. Under 18 U.S.C. § 1033(e), it is a federal offense to knowingly permit a person convicted of a felony involving dishonesty or breach of trust to participate in the business of insurance. Marlene was charged with permitting the felon to engage in that business — a less culpable formulation than the "knowingly and willfully" charge brought against James, reflecting her lesser role in the scheme. Both were convicted in 2009 in the Northern District of New York following the FBI's July 2006 raid on the Oriska office.

Mansell was a crew member on the boat with John R. Moore Jr. approximately three miles off Jupiter Inlet, Florida, in August 2020 when the pair spotted a longline they believed to be an illegal fishing rig. The two freed the sharks and a grouper caught on it, reported the incident to state wildlife officials, and brought the line to shore. The line belonged to a NOAA-licensed researcher legally catching sharks for scientific purposes.

Timothy S. Smith was convicted of conspiracy to defraud the United States government by impeding and impairing the lawful functions of the Internal Revenue Service. The charge arose from the 1986 federal case United States v. Farmer, et al. (No. 1:86-CR-634), in which Smith was one of multiple defendants. Conspiracy to defraud the IRS — brought under 18 U.S.C. § 371 — typically involves a scheme to impede the IRS's ability to assess, compute, or collect taxes, such as through false filings, concealment of income, or coordinated tax evasion with others.

Conrad, a United States Postal Service employee, was convicted of embezzling by a postal employee under 18 U.S.C. § 1711, which prohibits postal workers from stealing, converting, or misappropriating postal funds, money orders, stamps, or other property entrusted to them in their official capacity. No further detail about the specific scheme is available in accessible public records. The conviction occurred in the Southern District of Georgia in 1979 (United States v. Conrad, No. 79-00002).

Klos was convicted of possession of an unregistered firearm under 26 U.S.C. § 5861(d), a provision of the National Firearms Act (NFA). The NFA requires that certain categories of firearm — including machine guns, short-barreled rifles, short-barreled shotguns, suppressors, and destructive devices — be registered in the National Firearms Registration and Transfer Record maintained by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. Possessing such a weapon without a valid registration is a federal felony regardless of how the weapon was obtained. Specific details of the firearm involved and the circumstances of the offense are not available in accessible public records. The conviction occurred in the federal case United States v. Klos, No. 1:05-CR-54.

Flint was convicted of aiding and abetting the making of false Selective Service Registration Certificates, a federal offense under the Military Selective Service Act. During the Vietnam War era, all male citizens were required to register with the Selective Service System and carry their registration certificate (commonly known as a draft card) at all times. Producing false or altered draft cards — or helping others do so — was a federal crime used to fraudulently misrepresent draft status, avoid conscription, or create false identities in the Selective Service records. As an aider and abettor, Flint assisted in the manufacture of such false certificates rather than producing them as the primary offender. Specific details of the scheme and the district of prosecution are not available in accessible public records.

Baisden accumulated a series of misdemeanor convictions in D.C. Superior Court between 2005 and 2010 stemming from substance abuse issues he experienced in his teens and twenties, according to the White House. The convictions were: shoplifting (December 2005); a Bail Reform Act violation for failing to comply with conditions of release (February 2007); and two counts of second degree theft (March 2009 and September 2010). Although D.C. Superior Court is a local court rather than a federal court, the President holds pardon power over D.C. offenses under the constitutional arrangement governing the District of Columbia. At the time of the pardon, Baisden had been sober for nearly 14 years and was set to graduate from law school, but his criminal record risked preventing his admission to state bars.
