, filed Tuesday in federal court in Washington, names the two groups and more than 30 individuals it says are associated with them.
“Over the course of several weeks, the Proud Boys, the Oath Keepers, their leadership, and certain of their members and affiliates—motivated by a desire to overturn the legal results of the election and initiate a second term of’s presidency—worked together to plot, publicize, recruit for, and finance their planned attack,” the lawsuit says. “The result of that planning, the January 6th Attack on the Capitol, was not a protest or a rally. It was a coordinated act of domestic terrorism.
“As the independent attorney general, I have the responsibility to enforce our laws and hold these violent defendants accountable,” Mr. Racine said at a news conference. A lawyer for the Oath Keepers didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment. A representative of the Proud Boys couldn’t immediately be reached.Sponsored Offers
