The trial of former Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio and four of his lieutenants went to the jury on Tuesday, with the group charged with seditious conspiracy among other charges in what has been one of the most serious cases related to the January 6, 2021 Capitol attack. Federal prosecutors allege that the group had a desperate plot to keep Donald Trump in the White House after he lost the 2020 election. Attorneys for the Proud Boys argued that the group was prompted by Donald Trump. “Their commander-in-chief sold them a lie,” said Norm Pattis, an attorney for Joe Biggs. Lawyer for Enrique Tarrio argued that the group is being made a “scapegoat” for Trump. The defense argued that the defendants only went to Washington D.C. because of Trump. The Proud Boys members Ethan Nordean, Dominic Pezzola and Zach Rehl, along with Tarrio, are each facing at least nine counts, including seditious conspiracy. Jurors are set to begin deliberating on Wednesday.
