Proud Boys convicted of seditious conspiracy in US Capitol attack.

Four members of the far-right Proud Boys militia group, including its former leader Enrique Tarrio, were convicted of seditious conspiracy for plotting to attack the US Capitol on January 6, 2021, in an attempt to block Congress from certifying President Joe Biden's election victory. The verdicts represent another victory for the US Justice Department, which has secured the convictions of more than 600 people related to the Capitol rampage by supporters of then-President Donald Trump. The jury also found the defendants guilty of other felonies, including obstructing an official proceeding and conspiring to impede Congress from performing its duties.
