Trump's Army Convicted of Sedition

Four Proud Boys were found guilty of seditious conspiracy as part of the violent attack on January 6 to keep Donald Trump in power.

This is the third separate trial where jurors conclude that the January 6 Insurrection was an organized conspiracy to overturn our democracy. During the 2020 campaign, Trump famously told the Proud Boys to "stand back and stand by" during a nationally televised debate with Joe Biden. Then after Trump lost the election, he tweeted “Big protest in D.C. on January 6th” and “Be there, will be wild!” During their trial, the Proud Boys blamed Trump who told his supporters to “fight like hell” and then sent them to march on the Capitol.
