About 718 people pleaded guilty to crime they committed when called to Washington DC by Don Trump. Many more were found guilty at trial with only two accused were found not guilty. 213 have pleaded guilty to felony charges and many more were found guilty of felonies associated with what they did following Trump’s instructions. 505 have pleaded guilty to misdemeanors. So far 21 of those convicted have faced fines of $390,000. Another 100 riot defendants got fines of $240,000. Those convicted also face a fine of more than $524,000 in restitution for damages at the capitol. Those trying to raise money based on their conviction have found the court will immediately impose fines equal to the money donated. “Nobody should financially benefit from the commission of crimes, the courts say.

To the OP, I recognize this guy doesn't quite fall within your parameters, but did Ryan Zinke, former Interior Secretary, ever have to pay a fine or was he pardoned? Etc. He was very Teapot Dome-like, which is why I ask.
