Former Proud Boys Leader Sentenced to Prison for Capitol Riot Plot

Charles Donohoe, a former leader of the far-right Proud Boys extremist group, has been sentenced to over three years in prison for his involvement in a plot to attack the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021. Donohoe pleaded guilty to conspiring with other group members to obstruct the joint session of Congress for certifying President Joe Biden's electoral victory. His sentence could set a precedent for other Proud Boys conspirators who have cooperated with federal prosecutors. Donohoe, who apologized for his actions, was sentenced to three years and four months in prison but may be eligible for release in a month or two due to time served.
