Andrew Paul Johnson is a name that has recently appeared in news reports concerning serious criminal allegations. Unlike the historical figure Andrew Johnson, the 17th U.S. President, this individual is a contemporary person involved in legal proceedings.
He has gained notoriety due to his connection to the January 6th U.S. Capitol breach, for which he reportedly received a pardon from a previous administration. His legal troubles, however, extend beyond this event to include multiple and severe charges.
The name has resurfaced in headlines following new allegations that he attempted to bribe a victim in a child sex crime case. Reports from late 2025 state he allegedly promised the victim a future payout related to his January 6 case in exchange for their silence. This development follows his earlier arrest in mid-2025 on fugitive and child sex crime charges.
