Proud Boys Leader Charles Donohoe Could Be Damning to Capitol Riot Defenses
The remaining defendants facing charges related to the January 6 Capitol riot could be up against an even tougher prosecution now that Charles Donohoe, one of six Proud Boys leaders, has pleaded guilty.
On Friday, Donohoe, who led the alt-right group's North Carolina chapter, pleaded guilty to conspiracy and agreed to fully cooperate with the Justice Department's ongoing investigation into last year's storming of the Capitol.
As outlined in Donohoe's plea deal, the 34-year-old, who was part of a group of roughly 100 Proud Boys who participated in the attack, has agreed to a full cooperation with the federal investigation—a development that could significantly help prosecutors with their cases against the remaining defendants.
Donohoe also agreed to plead guilty to conspiring to obstruct an official proceeding and assaulting, resisting or impeding an officer. The remaining counts against him will be dropped. A sentencing date has not been determined.
