DOJ: Proud Boys saw themselves as "Trump's army" thirsting for violence on Jan. 6

TL;DR Summary
The Justice Department argued in closing arguments that five members of the Proud Boys were "thirsting for violence" and "organizing for action" before the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol. The defendants face nine counts, including the rarely used charge of seditious conspiracy. The prosecution argued that the Proud Boys conspired to "stop certification of the election" by "any means necessary, including by force." Defense attorneys began presenting their closing arguments Monday afternoon, and the arguments are expected to continue into Tuesday.
