Christine Priola
Pardoned January 6 defendant
Christine Priola is from Willoughby, Ohio, near Cleveland. Before Jan. 6, 2021, she worked as an occupational therapist for the Cleveland Metropolitan School District, helping students in the public schools; she resigned from that job around the time of the events (FACT, per Cleveland news outlets and Law & Crime). The court record, stated plainly: Priola was among those who reached the Senate floor on Jan. 6 and was photographed near the dais. She was charged and, on July 26, 2022, pleaded guilty to obstruction of an official proceeding, a felony. On October 28, 2022, she was sentenced to 15 months in prison, one year of supervised release, and $2,000 in restitution. She was released early, in the latter part of 2023. Plain English: this was a felony obstruction conviction — the archive does not understate it — for which she served time. President Trump's January 20, 2025 clemency for Jan. 6 defendants reached her case. Case record: Case No. — 1:22-cr-242 (initially 1:21-mj-53). Court — U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. Arrested — Jan. 14, 2021. Pleaded guilty — July 26, 2022. Sentenced — Oct. 28, 2022 (15 months prison, 1 year supervised release, $2,000 restitution). This profile is unclaimed. If this is you — or your family — claiming it is free, forever.
