TL;DR Summary

Proud Boy member Dominic Pezzola, who admitted to breaking a Capitol window during the Jan. 6 riot, called the charges against him "fake" and the trial "phony" and "corrupt" as the Proud Boys seditious conspiracy trial nears an end. Pezzola argued that the rioters were "acting as trespassing protesters" and that law enforcement officers used excessive force on the mob that day. Pezzola also used his courtroom testimony to advance a conspiracy theory, arguing that Ray Epps, a Trump supporter who tried to calm down rioters on Jan. 6, was a government informant.
