Five members of the Proud Boys were 'thirsting for violence, and organizing for action' before the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, the Justice Dept. says at closing arguments in their seditious conspiracy trial.
Mulroe told jurors that the Proud Boys thought politics “meant actual, physical combat, a battle between good and evil in the most literal sense." The defendants conspired to “stop certification of the election” by “any means necessary, including by force,” Mulroe said. A conspiracy “can be unspoken,” Mulroe said, “a mutual understanding reached by a wink and a nod.”
Mulroe said that they were motivated by their belief that the election was stolen and their desire to keep then-President Donald Trump in office.
