A police officer frequently provided Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio with internal information about law enforcement operations in the weeks before members of his far-right extremist group stormed the U.S. Capitol.
Later, on the day of his arrest, Tarrio posted a message to other Proud Boys leaders that said, “The warrant was just signed.”
Sabino Jauregui, one of Tarrio's attorneys, said other messages show Tarrio routinely cooperated with police and had provided Lamond with useful information. Jauregui said prosecutors “dragged name through the mud” and falsely insinuated he is a “dirty cop" who had an inappropriate relationship with Tarrio.
In a statement Wednesday, Schamel said Lamond's job required him to communicate with a variety of groups protesting in Washington and his conduct “was appropriate and always focused on the protection of the citizens of Washington, DC.” As Donald Trump lost a legal fight over the 2020 election results, messages show members of his inner circle were in contact with members of extremist groups like the Proud Boys and the Oath Keepers, and that many supporters brought weapons to Washington on Jan. 6. Javed Ali, former senior director for counterterrorism at the National Security Council, joins LX News to discuss the security concerns revealed in the latest Jan. 6 committee hearing.
Two days later, Tarrio asked Lamond what the police department's “general consensus” was about the Proud Boys.
