Proud Boys did not ‘stand back, stand by’ on Jan 6: US prosecutor!
Prosecutor accuses far-right group members of ‘mobilising’ to storm Capitol as seditious conspiracy trial begins.
Former Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio and four lieutenants charged with seditious conspiracy in the Capitol attack “took aim at the heart” of United States democracy on January 6, 2021, a federal prosecutor told jurors as their high-profile trial opened in Washington.
Jurors began hearing opening statements on Thursday, more than two years after members of the far-right group joined a pro-Donald Trump mob in attacking the Capitol.
