Prosecutors say a documentary film crew was there when leaders of the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers met up in an underground parking garage on Jan. 5, 2021. The groups' leaders played a key role in the breach of the Capitol the next day.
Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio wears a hat that says "The War Boys" during a rally in Portland, Ore. on Sept. 26, 2020. | Allison Dinner/AP PhotoProsecutors say a “documentary film crew” was present when Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio and Oath Keepers leader Stewart Rhodes met for 30 minutes in an underground parking garage on Jan. 5, 2021.
Prosecutors say that after Tarrio left Washington, D.C., that night — part of a court order that he stay away from the city while facing charges related to his conduct during a December 2020 rally — he traveled to Baltimore. The new details suggest Tarrio played a more direct role than previously understood in orchestrating the events that occurred on Jan. 6, when top Proud Boys leaders were at the vanguard of a mob that overran police lines and threatened the presidential transfer of power.
