Biography

Jay Smith, 32, of Freeport NY, DC Nine co-defendant in the October 22, 2020 Washington Surgi-Clinic blockade. Convicted; 10 months federal prison. Pardoned by Trump January 2025.

The DOJ clemency list preserved in a January 13, 2026 congressional attachment includes Jay Smith in the January 23, 2025 FACE Act pardons. The table lists the imposed prison term as ten months, August 7, 2023. This confirms the grant and the listed sentence, not that the full term was served or the exact day of physical release.
