Proud Boys were ready for ‘all-out war’ before January 6, prosecutors argue

The neo-fascist group's leader and four lieutenants are accused of seditious conspiracy to forcibly stop the transfer of power in 2021

Ready for all-out war", leaders of the far-right Proud Boys viewed themselves as foot soldiers for Donald Trump as he clung to power after the 2020 election, a prosecutor said on Monday at the close of a historic trial over the January 6 Capitol attack.

After more than three months of testimony, jurors began hearing closing arguments in the seditious conspiracy case accusing the former Proud Boys national chairman, Enrique Tarrio, and four lieutenants of plotting to forcibly stop the transfer of power.
