Proud Boys Charged With Sedition For Attack on U.S. Capitol

June 08, 2022

The former leader and other members of the Proud Boys white nationalist group have been hit with charges of seditious conspiracy for their roles in the attack on the United States Capitol on January 6th, 2021.

According to reports, the charges of seditious conspiracy were brought against former chairman Henry “Enrique” Tarrio, Ethan Nordean, Joseph Biggs, Zachary Rehl, and Dominic Pezzola in an amended federal indictment unsealed in a federal district court in Washington, D.C. All the men had been previously charged in an earlier indictment filed in March for conspiring to obstruct the certification of the 2020 Presidential Election which was being conducted during the joint session of Congress on January 6th. The trial for that case is set to take place in August. Charles Donohoe, another Proud Boys member, pleaded guilty in April to those charges and is now cooperating with the federal government in their ongoing investigation.
