Overview

  • On trial for seditious conspiracy, Zachary Rehl insisted the Proud Boys had no objective to interfere with the transfer of power.
  • Rehl told a federal jury that he saw no damages or injuries during his time at the Capitol on Jan. 6.
  • Rehl claimed the Proud Boys had no plan to attack police, damage property, or stop Congress from certifying Biden's victory.
  • Prosecutors allege the Proud Boys plotted for weeks to violently keep Trump in power by disrupting the joint session of Congress that day.
  • Rehl faces potential cross examination on Wednesday, which could undermine his claims that the militaristic group did not intend to interfere with the election.
