Proud Boys leaders point finger at Trump for Jan. 6 attack

TL;DR Summary
Lawyers for the Proud Boys leaders on trial for their alleged roles in the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol argued in closing statements that Donald Trump was the real culprit behind the violence. They claimed that Trump's words and motivation caused the riot, and that the Proud Boys leaders were merely scapegoats. The prosecution argued that the Proud Boys leaders, loyal to Trump and fearful of the group's survival in a post-Trump America, devised plans to keep Trump in office. The jury is expected to begin deliberating on Tuesday afternoon.
