Jury Finds Proud Boys Guilty of Sedition and Other Felonies for Jan. 6 Insurrection
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A jury in Washington, D.C., has convicted four members of the far-right
group Proud Boys of seditious conspiracy and other felonies for their
role in the January 6 Capitol insurrection and for attempting to keep
Donald Trump in power after the 2020 election. The Proud Boys verdict is
seen as a major victory for the Justice Department. During two previous
trials, six members of another far-right group, the Oath Keepers, were
also convicted of sedition. We'll have more on the Proud Boys after
headlines.
