Opening statements are set to begin in the seditious conspiracy trial of the former Proud Boys leader and four other members involved in the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol.
The next day, Tarrio set up an encrypted message group that he called his"national rally planning committee," the indictment says. According to the filing, the group then laid out plans to recruit members to come to Washington, D.C., and told them they should not wear their traditional Proud Boy colors and should be"incognito."
Tarrio, prosecutors say, was aware of discussions around a plan to storm the Capitol and was involved in discussions about occupying buildings, including in the Capitol complex. Tarrio wasn't at the Capitol, but messaged with members throughout the riot, prosecutors said. At 11:16 p.m. that night, he posted a message on social media that appeared to be of himself wearing a mask and a black cape in front of an empty Capitol building. He captioned the picture,"Premonition," court filings say.
