Five members of the right-wing Proud Boys, including the group’s national leader, Enrique Tarrio, have been charged with conspiring to obstruct an official procedure, namely the ratification of Joe Biden’s electoral victory in the 2020 presidential election.

Members of the right-wing Oath Guard militia who participated in the attack on the legislative headquarters could also be sentenced to up to 20 years in prison for conspiracy to sedition.

Former federal prosecutor Glenn Kirchner, a professor at Georgetown University and a legal analyst for networks like MSNBC and NBC News, justified the delay by deeming Trump the “ultimate target” of the Justice Department’s investigation into the violent event, with unfounded motive. Allegations of electoral fraud.

In all, there are nine complaints against the former president related to the elections and incitement to riots that day, in which five people were killed and hundreds injured.
