Proud Boys blame Trump for Jan. 6 attack in seditious conspiracy trial.
TL;DR Summary
The defense attorney for Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio argued that the US justice department is making him a scapegoat for Donald Trump in the landmark trial over the January 6 insurrection. Tarrio and four lieutenants are charged with seditious conspiracy for what prosecutors say was a plot to stop the transfer of presidential power from Trump to Joe Biden after the 2020 election. The defense lawyer Nayib Hassan noted Tarrio was not in Washington on 6 January 2021, having been banned from the capital after being arrested for defacing a Black Lives Matter banner.
