Pardoned January 6 defendant
Documented editorial-use imageCory Ray Brannan is a Texas man who spent part of his career in law enforcement, working as a county jailer. On January 6, 2021, Brannan entered the Capitol. His case resolved as a misdemeanor — he pleaded guilty before U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan to a single count of parading, demonstrating, or picketing in a Capitol building. In September 2022 he was sentenced to 30 days, followed by 24 months of probation, 60 hours of community service, and $500 in restitution. He served his time and moved on. On January 20, 2025, President Trump granted sweeping clemency to January 6 defendants, and Cory Ray Brannan was among those covered. Case record: United States v.
