Proud Boys Sue US Gov for $100m Over Jan 6 Convictions

Five leaders of far-right group the Proud Boys, who were convicted in connection to the 6 January, 2021 Capitol riot, have sued the US government for $100 million (74m), claiming that their rights were violated during their prosecution.

The five were convicted of plotting and taking part in the riot to overturn President Donald Trump's loss in the 2020 election. Trump pardoned or commuted their sentences earlier this year.
