Charles Littlejohn, 38, of Washington, D.C., faces a maximum of five years in prison, the Department of Justice said. Sentencing is slated for late January.

    I think the paperwork to start that process is here - https://www.justice.gov/pardon/apply-pardon

    Incidentally, they might try to bullshit their way out of a direct answer by saying some misinformation about how “there is a five-year waiting period before a person can apply for pardon,” but just remind them that’s not how it worked for Michael Flynn and a whole bunch of other people under the last administration. Whether or not this gets done comes down solely to the President’s willingness to order it.
