Proud Boys Convicted in High-Profile Trial.
TL;DR Summary
Prosecutors used thousands of videos and text messages to convict Proud Boys leader Henry "Enrique" Tarrio and three close allies of seditious conspiracy in the Capitol attack. The Proud Boys were mobilized by President Donald Trump's false claims of election fraud and their own frustration with D.C. police. Prosecutors argued the Proud Boys' leadership viewed members as "Trump's army" ready to do the president's bidding. The group was unique in its embrace of violence as a political tool. All four were found guilty of seditious conspiracy and conspiring to obstruct the congressional certification.
