J6er’s Florida conviction is covered by President Trump’s Jan. 20 pardon, DOJ says

Blazemedia Header

DOJ filing made in US District Court for the Middle District of Florida should pave the way for Jeremy Brown’s release from an Atlanta prison.

Update: Jeremy Brown has been released

More than a month after President Donald J. Trump issued Jan. 6 pardons and commutations, the U.S. Department of Justice concluded that both criminal cases brought against Oath Keeper Jeremy Brown are covered by the president’s pardon declaration, clearing the way for Brown’s release from an Atlanta prison.

In a filing in U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida, Assistant U.S. Attorney Daniel J. Marcet penned the words Brown has been waiting to hear for 36 days.

“Based on consultation with Department of Justice leadership, it is the position of the United States that the offenses of conviction in this case are intended to be covered by this Pardon,” Marcet wrote in a two-page filing.

Brown’s pardon situation as it stands now would mean Brown is considered by the law to be a felon who cannot possess firearms. The DOJ could also seek to vacate Brown’s Florida conviction through the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit, but there is no indication so far that is planned. Blaze News has reached out to the DOJ for clarification but had not received a response by publication time.

Weapons charges grew from Jan. 6 warrant

Brown, 50, of Tampa, was convicted of a smattering of weapons-related and classified document charges in April 2023 in a case that sprang from a search of his home authorized as part of the FBI’s sweeping Jan. 6 investigation. The conviction led to an 87-month prison sentence doled out by U.S. District Judge Susan Bucklew.

Brown has appealed his federal Florida conviction. Oral arguments in the appeal are scheduled to be heard March 6 in Jacksonville, Fla.

The new filing makes clear that the DOJ under President Trump considers both the D.C. charges and Florida charges against Brown to be “related” to Jan. 6 and thus covered by the pardon. On a motion from the new U.S. Attorney in D.C., Brown’s District of Columbia case was dismissed with prejudice on Jan. 28. That case had not yet proceeded to trial.
