TL;DR Summary

The former leader of the Proud Boys, Enrique Tarrio, who is facing felony convictions for his role in the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, argued in his closing statement that former President Donald Trump was to blame for the violence. Tarrio's attorney quoted Trump's words to "fight like hell" and accused those in power of using Tarrio as a scapegoat. If convicted, Tarrio would be the first person held responsible by a jury for the Jan. 6 riot who was not at the Capitol that day.
