"Proud Boys Leader Joe Biggs Receives 17-Year Prison Sentence for Jan. 6 Sedition"

Former Proud Boys leader Joe Biggs has been sentenced to 17 years in prison for his role in the January 6th assault on the U.S. Capitol. Biggs, convicted of seditious conspiracy, was described by prosecutors as a vocal leader and influential proponent of the group's shift towards political violence. The government had sought a 33-year prison sentence, but the judge accepted a recommendation for 17 years. Biggs' sentence is the second longest for any defendant charged in connection with the Capitol attack. Another Proud Boys leader, Enrique Tarrio, is set to be sentenced next week.
