Two more Proud Boys indicted for Capitol riot as prosecutors detail evidence of planning
CNN
Four leaders among the Proud Boys have been indicted by a federal grand jury in Washington, DC, for conspiracy and other charges related to the siege of the US Capitol, as prosecutors reveal more of what they've learned about the pro-Trump extremist group's encrypted communications and their attempts to avoid detection.
The indictment adds two defendants to a criminal case already open against Proud Boys Seattle leader Ethan Nordean and Florida Proud Boys event organizer Joseph Biggs. The conspiracy indictment alleges Zachary Rehl, 35, of Philadelphia, and Charles Donohoe, 33, of North Carolina, worked as local Proud Boys chapter leaders alongside Biggs and Nordean to prepare paramilitary and high-tech communications equipment, raise funds and encourage their right-wing group members to come to Washington.More Related News
