Tarrio, Proud Boys set for trial on seditious conspiracy charges
The HillFederal prosecutors as early as Tuesday could launch their second seditious conspiracy case related to the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol, this time bringing charges against leaders of the right-wing Proud Boys.
Leader Enrique Tarrio is on trial alongside four other members of the group, each facing up to 20 years in prison for their role in the attack.
Prosecutors are expected to offer their opening arguments beginning Tuesday or Wednesday in the trial, which is expected to last one month. The arguments come just weeks after federal prosecutors successfully secured a guilty verdict for a similar case against members of the far-right Oath Keepers militia.
The two cases have a number of parallels.
