Since supporters of then-President Donald Trump brutally stormed the US Capitol on January 6, 2021, in an attempt to prevent Congress from certifying Joe Biden’s 2020 victory, more than 900 individuals have been charged with felonies.
Over a year later, at least 390 individuals have pled guilty in relation to the uprising.
This table contains the names, accepted charges, and links to court papers for all individuals who have pled guilty as of this date. We will continue to update it when additional names are revealed.
Jon Schaffer, the guitarist who established the metal band Iced Earth, was the first individual to plead guilty and agree to cooperate with prosecutors, according to documents from the Department of Justice. Schaffer is also a member of the Oath Keepers, a self-styled militia whose attack on the Capitol, according to prosecutors, was planned and practiced weeks in advance.
Paul Hodgkins was the first protest participant to be convicted of a felony offense. He will serve eight months in prison and pay a reparation fee of $2,000.
The FBI is still requesting public assistance to identify those who participated in one of the most well-documented crimes in U.S. history.
During his confirmation hearing, Attorney General Merrick Garland informed the Senate that he intended to personally oversee the Justice Department’s handling of the cases.
Garland stated, “I will supervise the prosecution of white supremacists and others who invaded the Capitol on January 6 – a terrible attack that tried to disrupt the peaceful transition of power to the newly elected government, a cornerstone of our democracy.”
After more than a year of investigating the riot, the House Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol will release its conclusions on June 9, 2022, highlighting previously unreported interviews with top authorities.
The Department of Justice first listed Jared Adams as a defendant who pled guilty; however, the DOJ later updated its website to reflect that Adams pled not guilty. The database of Insider has been updated accordingly.
