Cleophus Dulaney is a Columbus, Ohio man who once stepped into the arena himself — running for Congress in Ohio's 3rd District in 2020. He put his name on a ballot and asked his neighbors for their trust. That is civic engagement in its most demanding form, the kind most people never dare to attempt. On January 6, 2021, Dulaney was at the Capitol. He was later charged with obstruction and with assaulting or impeding officers, along with related counts. Those were the government's allegations — charges are accusations, not convictions, and Cleophus Dulaney's case never reached a jury verdict. On January 20, 2025, President Trump granted sweeping clemency to January 6 defendants, and Dulaney's case was brought to a close. Case record: United States v. Cleophus Dulaney, U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. Case resolved following the January 2025 clemency. This profile is unclaimed. If this is you — or your family — claiming it is free, forever.
