Public January 6 profile · ready to claim
Evan Neumann
January 6 defendant
Documented editorial-use imageEvan Neumann is a businessman from Mill Valley, California, whose January 6 case became one of the most extraordinary in the entire docket — because it was never tried at all. FACT: Evan Neumann was charged by indictment on December 10, 2021, with multiple counts, including assault allegations. A charge is an allegation, not a conviction — and Neumann has never been convicted of anything related to January 6. THEIR ACCOUNT: Neumann has said publicly that he attended January 6 but broke no laws. FACT: Rather than face trial, Neumann sold his Mill Valley home, left the United States, crossed Europe, and walked into Belarus from Ukraine. In March 2022, Belarus granted him political asylum — making Evan Neumann one of the first Americans ever granted refugee status there, a story covered by NPR, Forbes, and CBS San Francisco. FACT: On January 20, 2025, the January 6 clemency proclamation directed the dismissal of pending January 6 prosecutions, covering cases like this one. Case record: United States v. Neumann, No. 1:21-mj-331-GMH, U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. Indicted December 10, 2021. This profile is unclaimed. If this is you — or your family — claiming it is free, forever.
