Who received clemency, which recipients faced other criminal cases, and where Trump-related donations enter the picture.
Separate convictions from charges, personal gifts from family or company donations, and the crimes pardoned from cases that continued.
Both terms / Snapshot checked September 26, 2026Four people who benefited from Trump's January 6 action have separate sexual-offense convictions documented below. All four cases involve minors or solicitation of someone believed to be a minor. Those crimes were not pardoned by the January 6 order.
These are individually sourced cases, not a background check of every recipient or a count of crimes committed after release. The January 6 action included pardons, commutations and case dismissals. Each card identifies the relief and the separate case. Absence from this review does not establish a clean history.
5 of 5 documented people shown. The overview counts above describe the full selected review.
Child molestation and related offenses
Associated Press reported that Johnson received a life sentence on March 5, 2026, after a Florida jury convicted him of child molestation and related offenses. His January 6 pardon did not cover those state crimes.
The sentence came after clemency. That sequence alone does not establish when every act of abuse occurred.
Online solicitation of a minor
The Houston Chronicle reported that Taake pleaded guilty on September 30, 2025, in a solicitation case dating to 2016. He received a three-year sentence, with jail credit that meant no additional prison time. The case involved an undercover officer posing as a minor, not an identified child victim.
The solicitation case predated his pardon. The pardon covered his Capitol case, not this Texas offense.
Receiving child sexual abuse material
DOJ announced that Colton was sentenced to 80 months in prison for receiving child sexual abuse material. Prosecutors' trial brief says his January 6 case was dismissed under Trump's order before sentencing, but the court rejected his attempt to use that pardon to dismiss the separate abuse-material case.
DOJ dates the downloading to July 2022 through December 2023, before the January 2025 order. The later conviction was not for conduct newly committed after clemency.
Possession of child sexual abuse material
DOJ reported a four-year prison sentence and five years of supervised release following Tocci's September 2025 guilty plea. Investigators found the material in November 2023. NBC News reported that he had received January 6 clemency; the separate possession prosecution continued.
The evidence was discovered before clemency. DOJ announced the sentence on March 30, 2026, after the court had imposed it.
Aggravated sexual assault and aggravated kidnapping charges
A public court calendar lists these charges and a July 6, 2026 pretrial conference. It is not a judgment. A later disposition has not been verified for this review; Banuelos is not counted among the convicted people.
CBS reported that his Capitol case was dismissed in January 2025. The Utah calendar lists alleged conduct from 2018.
Trevor Milton gave to Trump's fundraising operation before his pardon. Paul Walczak's mother gave to a pro-Trump super PAC twenty days before her son's pardon. Charles Kushner's donation shown here came after his pardon. The dates, donors and destinations matter.
These financial connections warrant scrutiny of who gets access to presidential mercy. The documented overlap raises questions about access; it does not establish that a pardon was bought. Money from relatives or companies must not be passed off as a recipient's personal gift.
6 selected recipient connections. Campaign fundraising, super PAC contributions and inaugural donations are different destinations, none automatically a payment to Trump personally. The amounts below are selected transactions, not complete donor histories. A commutation and a pretrial pardon are labeled separately.
6 of 6 recipient connections shown. No donation total is presented as a price paid for clemency.
Convicted of securities and wire fraud
FOX 13's Ben Winslow reported Milton's $920,000 contribution during the 2024 campaign. The Nikola founder received a pardon after his fraud conviction. Milton told FOX 13 that his donations had nothing to do with his pardon.
CBS reported the White House said his donations 'played absolutely no role' in the pardon. Timing alone does not establish an exchange.
Pleaded guilty to employment-tax crimes
The New Yorker reported that MAGA Inc. recorded Fago's $1 million check on April 3, 2025. Trump signed her son's pardon on April 23, twenty days later. Walczak had been sentenced to 18 months in prison for employment-tax crimes.
The Daily Beast reported that a White House official attributed the pardon to his mother's plea, not her donation. The payment was to a political committee, not a documented personal payment to Trump.
Pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor foreign-national contribution offense
Campaign Legal Center's February 17, 2026 FEC complaint cites two reported contributions under Isabela Herrera's name, totaling $3.5 million. Both preceded her father's January 15 pardon. The complaint links the donations to published FEC filings.
CLC alleges that her father supplied the money through a straw-donor arrangement. That is a complaint by an advocacy organization, not an FEC finding or a proven purchase of a pardon. The listed donor remains Isabela Herrera.
Convicted of tax offenses, witness retaliation and false statements to the FEC
Public Citizen's donation table lists a $1 million contribution from Kushner to MAGA Inc. on June 5, 2023. Trump had pardoned him in December 2020. Kushner also had a direct family connection to the president through his son Jared.
This donation came after the pardon. It cannot be described as a payment made before clemency, and its existence does not establish a reward agreement.
Convicted of foreign-agent filing, tax, campaign-finance and obstruction crimes
DOJ's sentencing announcement describes a $900,000 contribution through Avenue Ventures in late 2016 and Zuberi's obstruction of the investigation into it. His 12-year sentence was commuted in May 2025; DOJ lists an amended warrant dated October 1, 2025.
This was sentence relief, not a full pardon. The company contribution is not presented as exclusively Zuberi's personal money or as a payment for clemency.
Charged with bid rigging; pardoned before trial, not convicted
Campaign Legal Center reports that Oak View Group gave $250,000 to Trump's inaugural fund in January 2025. Leiweke was later charged in a bid-rigging case and received a pardon before trial on December 2, 2025.
The contributor was the company. This entry does not establish that Leiweke personally supplied the money, and the indictment is not a conviction.

Trump was not president during 2022-2024. The 2026 record is partial, through the checked September 8 grants.
The dashboard uses the same sourced, September 26, 2026 snapshot as the investigation. The individual-grant roster reaches September 8, 2026. These are not live totals.
Each directory entry counts once per matching category, regardless of the number of legal counts. Categories overlap, so their totals cannot be added together. Keyword groupings use the source offense text only; they do not determine guilt, severity or a personal relationship to Trump. Broad or unclear offense descriptions may fall under other listed offenses.
Search, record group, clemency type and term filter this directory and its charts, not the separate-case or donation sections above. Selecting a category also filters the year chart; selecting a year also filters the category chart. Each chart keeps its own options visible so you can change the selection. The case list and summary totals apply every active filter.
Some individuals received more than one grant, some grants cover companies, and uncertain name variants remain separate. Four amended warrants are folded into the earlier records. Blanket proclamations cover unnamed beneficiaries, so the directory is not a complete count of everyone granted clemency.
January 6 categories use original charges, including counts that may have been dismissed or rejected. Election-proclamation records are not treated as convictions. Money-laundering-law entries include compliance failures, not necessarily personal laundering transactions. Historical fines and restitution are not summed into a supposed victim-loss total.
Sexual offenses and offenses involving minors are separate, overlapping categories when the listed offense establishes both. Minor-related offenses also include nonsexual crimes, such as using people under 18 in a drug enterprise. A zero means no matching description in the selected records, not that every recipient has been cleared of such conduct. Separate convictions, later cases and allegations outside the clemency case are not included in these counts.
Historical Mann Act cases are counted separately rather than automatically labeled sexual abuse. Jack Johnson's entry lists the White Slave Traffic Act, another name for the Mann Act. The 2018 White House pardon statement describes the longstanding view of his prosecution as a racially motivated injustice. The statute name alone does not establish sexual assault or a minor victim.
