Leaders of the far-right Proud Boys extremist group saw themselves as foot soldiers fighting for Trump, a prosecutor said at the close of a historic trial over the US Capitol insurrection.
Ready for “all-out war”, leaders of the far-right Proud Boys extremist group viewed themselves as foot soldiers fighting for Donald Trump as the former president clung to power after the 2020 election, a prosecutor said at the close of a historic trial over the US Capitol insurrection.
Tarrio is one of the top targets of the department’s investigation of the riot that erupted at the Capitol. Tarrio wasn’t in Washington, DC, that day but is accused of orchestrating an attack from afar. Ethan Nordean, with backward baseball hat and bullhorn, leads members of the far-right group Proud Boys in marching before the riot at the US Capitol.Mulroe said a conspiracy can be an unspoken and implicit “mutual understanding, reached with a wink and a nod”.
Jurors also saw the string of gleeful messages that Proud Boys members posted during the January 6 riot. A group of Proud Boys marched to the Capitol that day. Some entered the building after the mob of Trump supporters overwhelmed police lines.Prosecutors showed multiple videos from January 6 during their closing statements, including one that appeared to show defendant Zachary Rehl spraying police officers with pepper spray outside the Capitol.

Defence Strategic Review a ‘step in the right direction’ but ‘not a complete solution’Australian Strategic Policy Institute Senior Analyst Malcolm Davis says the new Defence Strategic Review is a “step in the right direction” but will probably need to be updated as the “threat environment changes.” “I think it’s a step in the right direction but it’s not a complete solution,” Mr Davis told Sky News Australia. “We’re probably going to need to update this in coming years as the threat environment changes and this is heading us in the right direction now in terms of focused force rather than balanced force. “Which means we’re responding better to the sort of challenges, China in particular, is sending us but we do need to probably go further, particularly in terms of impactful projection.”
