Proud Boys Leaders Convicted of Seditious Conspiracy for January 6 Attack (2023-05-04)

Four Proud Boys leaders including former national chairman Enrique Tarrio are convicted of seditious conspiracy for their roles in the January 6 attack. The verdict follows a four-month trial that established the group planned the attack weeks in advance, coordinating via encrypted messages and leading the breach of the Capitol. Tarrio is sentenced to 22 years — the longest sentence of any January 6 defendant. Oath Keepers founder Stewart Rhodes had been convicted of seditious conspiracy in November 2022.
