Highest-profile January 6 trial begins with Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio

Chairman of militia group and four others are charged with seditious conspiracy related to Capitol insurrection

The January 6 committee investigating the attack on the Capitol may have issued its huge final report, but the wheels of the justice system in the US are grinding on and one of the most high-profile trials emerging from the insurrection is about to begin in earnest.

Jury selection began last week with the seditious conspiracy trial against ex-Proud Boys national chairman Enrique Tarrio and four others involved in the far-right, often violent militia group.
