TL;DR

Dominic Pezzola, a Proud Boy who helped fuel the breach of the Capitol on Jan. 6, testified in court that he got "caught up in all the craziness" and that there was no conspiracy. Pezzola separated himself from the group's leadership and said that he viewed the Proud Boys as a forum for camaraderie and brotherhood, not a force for violence.

Pezzola's testimony is a climactic moment for the trial, which is expected to go to the jury soon.
