Far-Right Proud Boys Leader Joe Biggs Charged over Role in Jan. 6 Capitol Insurrection
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Proud Boys leader Joe Biggs was arrested in Florida Wednesday and
charged with helping to lead the attack on the U.S. Capitol on January
6. The FBI says Biggs and other members of his far-right group used
radios with earpieces to coordinate "real-time communication" as they
smashed their way into the building.
