Proud Boys leaders' seditious conspiracy case closed by prosecutors.

TL;DR Summary
Prosecutors have made their closing arguments in the trial of five leaders of the far-right Proud Boys, urging jurors to convict them of seditious conspiracy and other federal crimes related to the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol. The prosecutors argued that the Proud Boys saw themselves as "Donald Trump's army" and played a critical role in assembling and leading the mob to the Capitol. Defense attorneys argued that prosecutors exaggerated the Proud Boys' role and tried to manipulate the jury to hate the defendants. The jury is expected to begin deliberating on Tuesday.
