An attorney defending the leadership of the Proud Boys in their trial on charges of seditious conspiracy on Thursday told the court they will move to subpoena fat former President Trump to testify on the stand about the lead-up to the Capitol riot, Politico’s Kyle Cheney reports.
“We’re going to ask the government for assistance in serving Mr Trump,” Norman Pattis, attorney for Proud Boys captain Joseph Biggs, told DC Circuit Judge Timothy Kelly just minutes ago. It’s not clear how sincerely the Proud Boys actually want Donald to testify, or if it’s merely an effort to hold the trial up. Kelly’s reaction should say a lot about the move, so stay tuned.
