Proud Boys Leaders Sentenced to Prison in January 6 Case: What's Next for the Group?

Joe Biggs, a leader of the Proud Boys, has been sentenced to 17 years in prison for his role in the January 6 Capitol attack. He was convicted of charges including seditious conspiracy for attempting to prevent the peaceful transfer of power. The judge acknowledged the significance of the constitutional moment and handed down a hefty sentence, although it was lower than the prosecution's request. Biggs is the second defendant to receive a lengthy sentence related to the attack. Prosecutors argued that Biggs and his co-defendants sought to change the course of American history through political violence.
