Proud Boys leader pleads not guilty to conspiracy related to Jan. 6 planning
CBSMAY 2022
Enrique Tarrio may not have been physically in Washington DC on Jan 6 but he still maintained a dangerous leadership role behind the scenes. There are allegations he met with Oath Keepers leadership before the events. If proven true, it would show him as a lynchpin in a damning conspiracy against the US government.
The evidence against Tarrio is weak. Even if it's ultimately proven that he did speak to the Oath Keepers leadership, prosecutors won't be able to prove the context. Tarrio wasn't in DC during the attack, and the prosecution knows the case against him is so flimsy that they need the trial postponed.
