Proud Boys
Former Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio and four lieutenants are charged with seditious conspiracy.
Attorneys began their closing arguments Monday for the case against former Proud Boys national chairman Enrique Tarrio and four lieutenants.
Nathan Pelham, 40, was initially charged with four misdemeanors for his role in the Capitol riot. Now, he faces a felony gun charge.
The Proud Boys desecrated several historic Black churches in D.C. prior to Jan. 6. One church, suing for millions, hopes to neutralize the hate group for good.
WHAT'S HAPPENING
FBI Agent Nicole Miller testified last week that she was aware of two informants in the Proud Boys, including one who marched on the Capital on Jan. 6.
Jeremy Bertino is testifying against former Proud Boys national leader Enrique Tarrio and four lieutenants as part of a cooperation deal with federal prosecutors.
In addition to enacting new criminal penalties, the law under consideration would allow people injured by unauthorized paramilitary activity to sue.
Police Lt. Shane Lamond at one point told Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio they should have a "conversation over a beer."
It's unclear why they want him on the stand, but other Jan. 6 defendants have said they stormed the Capitol because they thought Trump wanted them to.
The verdict is the second major trial involving far-right extremists accused of plotting to forcibly keep then-President Donald Trump in power.
