Greg Rubenacker
Pardoned January 6 defendant
Documented editorial-use imageGreg Rubenacker is a DJ and music producer from Farmingdale, on Long Island, New York — a young artist in his mid-twenties when January 6 put his name in the national headlines. FACT: In February 2022, Greg Rubenacker did something almost no other January 6 defendant did: he rejected the government's plea deal and instead pleaded guilty to every single one of the ten counts against him, including the felonies — accepting responsibility for the whole indictment, as covered by WUSA9 and Law & Crime. FACT: On May 22, 2022, he was sentenced to 41 months in prison, three years of supervised release, and $2,000 restitution. The court record includes confrontations with police inside the building; charges and convictions are what the record states, nothing more. FACT: On January 20, 2025, Greg Rubenacker was covered by the full January 6 clemency proclamation, ending his sentence. Case record: United States v. Rubenacker, No. 1:21-cr-193, U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. Arrested February 9, 2021. This profile is unclaimed. If this is you — or your family — claiming it is free, forever.
