Film Crew Was Present at January 5 Meeting

March 14, 2022 · 5:43 pm ET · Leave a Comment

Prosecutors say a “documentary film crew” was present when Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio and Oath Keepers leader Stewart Rhodes met for 30 minutes in an underground parking garage on Jan. 5, 2021, Politico reports.

From a Justice Department court filing: “While in the parking garage, Tarrio told another individual that he had cleared all of the messages on his phone before he was arrested. Tarrio further stated that no one would be able to get into his phone because there were ‘two steps’ to get into it.”
