Before Trump told supporters to march on Jan. 6, a Proud Boys leader said they planned to meet at the U.S. Capitol with demonstrators led by Infowars founder Alex Jones, though his lawyer claimed the leader was “bragging about a connection he didn’t have.”
In video played to a federal jury in D.C., Seattle-area Proud Boys head Ethan Nordean told other group leaders that morning that they would shortly “link up with Alex Jones.
As Miller testified, prosecutors showed jurors photos and videos from Jan. 6, including those recorded by two of the defendants themselves. The footage gave the panel a Proud Boys-eye view of the riot, focusing in part on the actions of 17 associates who prosecutors allege acted as “tools” of the conspiracy.
In its final report, the House select committee that investigated the Jan. 6 attack noted that while some of those who rioted at the Capitol did not plan to do so beforehand, “it is also true that extremists, conspiracy theorists and others were prepared to fight. That is an insurrection.”
