Judge Delays Proud Boys Trial

“The trial for five Proud Boys leaders — facing seditious conspiracy charges related to the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol — will be postponed until at least December, a federal judge ruled Wednesday, citing the ongoing publicity and uncertainty surrounding the Jan. 6 select committee,” Politico reports.

Wall Street Journal: “In a rare instance of agreement, prosecutors and defense lawyers in the case had asked for a postponement, saying they wanted to avoid a scenario in which the committee releases potentially relevant evidence mid-trial.”

New York Times: “It was perhaps inevitable that tensions would arise between the two investigations that are being conducted at the same time.”
