Daniel Egtvedt
Pardoned January 6 defendant
Documented editorial-use imageDaniel Dean Egtvedt of Oakland, Maryland — deep in rural Garrett County — was 59 at the time of his January 6 trial. [FACT] Here is a fact the loud headlines mostly skipped: he was tried, and the judge acquitted him of the two counts of physical violence, ruling that the government had NOT shown he assaulted any officer. That is not spin — that is the court's own finding on the record. [FACT: court record; WUSA9] He was convicted of other counts, including obstruction and resisting removal from the building, and sentenced to 42 months. We state that plainly and we go no further than the record. [FACT] Daniel has said he felt like a pawn in something far bigger than himself. Believe it or not, it is his account, and he has a right to be heard. [THEIR ACCOUNT] On January 20, 2025, President Trump granted clemency to January 6 defendants. [FACT] Receipts: - DOJ press releases (verdict and sentencing) - WUSA9 coverage noting the assault acquittal - Baltimore Sun and CBS Baltimore trial coverage Case record: United States v.
