“A federal judge has reluctantly granted a request by the Justice Department to formally dismiss a criminal case accusing five members of the Proud Boys, the far-right group, of seditious conspiracy in connection with the attack on the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021,” the New York Times reports.
“In an order filed on Friday night, the judge, Timothy J. Kelly of Federal District Court in Washington, said that he did not agree with the Trump administration’s decision to dismiss the charges against the Proud Boys — one of the last traces of the Justice Department’s vast investigation of the Capitol attack.”
