A federal judge dismisses remaining convictions of four Proud Boys leaders tied to the January 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol. Multiple outlets report that District Judge Timothy Kelly, appointed by President Donald Trump, agrees to grant the Justice Department’s motion to vacate the convictions. The decision applies to defendants including Ethan Nordean and Joseph Biggs, along with Zachary Rehl and other Proud Boys leaders referenced by outlets. The ruling is described as a dismissal of the cases that DOJ requested to be dropped, according to reports citing the government’s position. CBS and The Hill report that the judge vacates convictions for the defendants’ roles in the Capitol riot. Other coverage characterizes the judge’s action as dismissing the remaining Proud Boys-related convictions and notes that the judge vacates prior convictions rather than proceeding to new penalties. The outlets also describe that the judge’s decision comes after DOJ seeks to overturn the convictions, leading the court to remove them from the record.
