TL;DR Summary

Zachary Rehl, the president of the Philadelphia chapter of the Proud Boys, testified at the seditious conspiracy trial that he could not recall if he used pepper spray against officers at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6. Federal prosecutors presented video evidence that they suggested showed Rehl using pepper spray against police officers on the western front of the U.S. Capitol during the attack, though the government has not explicitly charged him with it. Rehl admitted that he witnessed some violence on Jan. 6, but downplayed what he saw and claimed that he believed that protesters were trying to get to stages that had been set up for permitted demonstrations at the Capitol building.
