Proud Boys trial halted due to FBI informant controversy.

The trial of the Proud Boys was disrupted after the defense revealed that a witness they intended to call had been paid by the FBI as a confidential informant against members of the far-right group. The informant had allegedly attended prayer meetings with "one or more" of the defendants' families. Prosecutors say the FBI ended its relationship with the informant upon learning in January that she might be called as a defense witness. The trial is currently nearing the end of its second month, with defense testimony scheduled to resume on Friday.
