Two Proud Boys members, who have been named as suspects affiliated with the Capitol riot that took place on Jan. 6, pleaded not guilty to the charges against them, despite the wide circulation of a video on social media that placed both men at the scene.
Dominic Pezzola, 43, and William Pepe, 31, who are both members of the far-right extremist group, pleaded not guilty to charges of conspiracy and interfering with officers who were protecting the Capitol, USA Today reported.
Both Pezzola and Pepe reportedly lead a group of rioters supporting former President Trump into the Capitol and removed metal barricades to allow more people to enter.
