David Brian Howard
Pardoned January 6 defendant
Documented editorial-use imageDavid Brian Howard has described himself, through his attorney, as a small town man from the Dallas, Texas area who spent years following the news his community trusted. Ahead of his sentencing, his lawyer told the court that Howard came to believe the 2020 election claims pushed by the outlets he watched, and that he has since had a change of heart about it. That is his account, not an independently verified fact, but taking a hard look at yourself in a federal courtroom is not nothing. The record: Howard, 47, pleaded guilty to two misdemeanors, disorderly conduct in the Capitol and parading, demonstrating, or picketing. His attorney and two probation officers recommended a sentence of probation. On January 20, 2025, President Trump granted clemency covering the January 6 prosecutions. Case: U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. DOJ defendant record: Howard, David Brian. Charges, per the DOJ record: Disorderly and Disruptive Conduct in a Capitol Building or Grounds; Parading, Demonstrating, or Picketing in a Capitol Building. This profile is unclaimed. If this is you — or your family — claiming it is free, forever.
