A former leader of the far-right Proud Boys testified to a jury on Wednesday that he had no plan to attack the U.S. Capitol before he entered it with hundreds of Donald Trump supporters on Jan. 6, 2021, attempting to overturn his election defeat.
Zachary Rehl, one of five Proud Boy members facing seditious conspiracy and other criminal charges for their role in the attack, spent two days this week answering questions from his attorney about his conduct that day."I think what ultimately unfolded there - all of the violence - was a disgrace," said Rehl, a former leader of the group's Philadelphia chapter. "At the time I was down there it looked like a big, giant protest. I thought it was a protest.
Criminal defendants often choose to invoke their Fifth Amendment right not to testify to avoid cross-examination by prosecutors in front of the jury. Prosecutors allege that Tarrio, Rehl, Nordean and Biggs were part of group called the Ministry of Self Defense, which allegedly helped mobilize the Proud Boys to travel to Washington.
