A federal judge dismisses the remaining parts of a landmark seditious conspiracy case against members of the far-right Proud Boys. The defendants had been convicted for their role in a plot aimed at disrupting the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, with the intent of helping President Donald Trump stay in office more than five years ago. The dismissal removes the remaining “remnants” of the government’s case, following the effect of Trump’s broad clemency actions. Sources describe the outcome as expected, given that Trump has previously used his pardon powers to erase cases tied to the Jan. 6 attack and related prosecutions involving the group of supporters that stormed the Capitol. As a result, prosecutions and remaining proceedings connected to the case are no longer moving forward. The reports focus on the legal impact of the clemency, which alters the status of the seditious conspiracy litigation and ends the remaining active elements of the government’s case against the Proud Boys members involved.
