Pardoned January 6 defendant

Documented editorial-use image

Cody Lee Tippett is a Grove City, Ohio man from the Columbus area whose name entered the January 6 record among the hundreds of ordinary Ohioans who made the trip to Washington, D.C. that day. Tippett traveled to the capital from Columbus, Ohio, attended the rally, and walked to the U.S. Capitol grounds. He was later charged in the District of Columbia in connection with entering the building. THE LEGAL FIGHT: A complaint against Cody Lee Tippett was filed June 27, 2023, and he was arrested in Columbus on June 29, 2023. He was subsequently indicted in a related case and pleaded guilty; the court imposed a 30-day sentence -- one of the shorter dispositions among January 6 cases. On January 20, 2025, President Trump issued a sweeping grant of clemency covering offenses related to the events at the Capitol on January 6, 2021, which reached the broad class of defendants like Tippett. (FACT, per DOJ records and the January 20, 2025 clemency proclamation. DOCUMENTED INFERENCE as to individual clemency effect.) CASE RECORD: Cody Lee Tippett, case number 23-mj-00147 (related criminal case 1:23-cr-00337), U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. Complaint filed June 27, 2023; arrested June 29, 2023. Charges are charges; the court record stands on its own. This profile is unclaimed. If this is you -- or your family -- claiming it is free, forever.
