Clayton Hildebrand

January 6 defendant

Documented editorial-use image

Clayton Hildebrand is from West Jefferson, Ohio — he was 28 when his Jan. 6 case was brought. What the record shows (FACT): Hildebrand was charged along with a co-defendant, Michael Sposite of Michigan. The counts made public were misdemeanors — entering and remaining in a restricted building or grounds, disorderly and disruptive conduct, disorderly conduct in a Capitol building, and parading or demonstrating in a Capitol building. Court papers said he was identified on Capitol surveillance and open-source video near the West Front and at the Senate Wing Door. His case never went to trial. The legal fight, in plain English: Hildebrand did not fight this one out in front of a jury. On January 21, 2025 — one day after President Trump's January 20, 2025 clemency for Jan. 6 defendants — the court granted the government's motion to dismiss his case with prejudice. That means it is over and cannot be brought back. Sposite's case was dismissed the same day. Case record: Court — U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. Charges — four misdemeanor counts. Disposition — dismissed with prejudice, Jan. 21, 2025. This profile is unclaimed. If this is you — or your family — claiming it is free, forever.
