Enrique Tarrio, former Proud Boys leader, testified in a trial involving Shane Lamond, a former D.C. police officer accused of alerting Tarrio about an arrest warrant. Tarrio, serving 22 years for his role in the Jan. 6 Capitol attack, refused to answer questions about that day. During his testimony, Tarrio claimed he was lying to Proud Boys about his communications with Lamond. He stated he intended to get arrested to draw attention to the group but denied discussing the burning of a Black Lives Matter banner with Lamond. Tarrio faced tough questioning from the judge and prosecutors, asserting his Fifth Amendment rights regarding Jan. 6. He confirmed his conviction for seditious conspiracy but maintained that he did not directly confess to Lamond about any crimes. Lamond is set to testify in his defense.
