Pardon Tracker is an independent investigative journalism and data visualization project, documenting the statements, activities, and networks of the individuals that received pardons or commutations for criminal charges related to the attack on the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021.

Why should you support this Project?

This is a major independent investigative journalism project, and I don’t have any institutional support from mainstream media publications, any grants from nonprofit charitable organizations, or any deep pocketed backers to provide the necessary funding for the project. In order to complete this project, I need your support. This project will require countless hours of investigative research, data collection, and updates of the interactive visualizations, and your support will ensure I have the time, focus, and resources to complete this project.

About the Project

This project will create a detailed interactive visualization of the Capitol Rioters that received pardons and commutations, and track their statements, activities, and networks. This project will also monitor the Trump Administration's targeted efforts to retaliate against the federal prosecutors and federal law enforcement agents that worked on the criminal cases related to the Capitol Riot.
