"Proud Boys Leader Turned Informant Receives Lenient Sentence in January 6 Case"

Charles Donohoe, a former Proud Boys lieutenant and US Marine, has been sentenced to 40 months in prison for his involvement in the January 6 attack on the US Capitol. Donohoe, who pleaded guilty to two felony charges, played a key role in the prosecution of the Proud Boys' leaders for conspiring to obstruct the certification of Joe Biden's election. Prosecutors requested a reduced sentence due to Donohoe's cooperation, which was approved by the judge. Donohoe expressed remorse for his actions and acknowledged the hypocrisy of attacking the democratic process. The judge noted that Donohoe had taken steps to amend his mistake but emphasized that there was nothing patriotic about his actions.
