Background
Nicole Marie Joyner, of Florida, was prosecuted in the District of Columbia after investigators identified her from social media posts showing her inside the Capitol on January 6, 2021, with her boyfriend Joseph LaPoint. A jury convicted her in October 2024; President Trump pardoned her before she was sentenced.
The Case
Prosecutors said Joyner traveled to Washington with LaPoint and entered the Capitol during the riot. A tipster alerted the FBI after seeing her posts; the Miami Herald reported that she shared images on Parler and wrote on Instagram that police had escorted rioters and that "Antifa" had stormed the building. On October 23, 2024, a jury found her guilty of entering restricted grounds, disorderly conduct in a restricted building, disorderly conduct in the Capitol, and parading. The attack disrupted the certification of the presidential election and endangered those inside the building.
Judge James Boasberg dismissed the federal case on January 21, 2025, after Trump's pardon. Since then, Brevard County Sheriff's Office records compiled by Lawfare list multiple Florida cases: misdemeanor driving while license suspended, criminal mischief, forged license, and resisting an officer (August 2025); felony deadly missile into a dwelling and related mischief (September 2025); additional resisting and failure-to-appear counts (late 2025 through February 2026). She was released from custody on March 20, 2026, according to the sheriff's inmate lookup.
The Pardon
On January 20, 2025, President Trump granted Joyner a full pardon under a proclamation covering certain offenses relating to the events at or near the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021.
