Two leaders of the Proud Boys convicted of seditious conspiracy are set to be sentenced Thursday for their role in the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol.
Rioters loyal to President Donald Trump at the U.S. Capitol in Washington, Jan. 6, 2021.
"The evidence at trial demonstrated that Biggs was a vocal leader and influential proponent of the group's shift toward political violence," prosecutors said in their sentencing memo for Biggs. "More than perhaps any other, Biggs appreciated the tactical advantage that his force had that day, and he understood the significance of his actions against his own government."
After Jan. 6, Biggs recorded a podcast-style interview where he celebrated the attack as a "warning shot to the government" that showed them "how weak they truly are."
