Federal Judge Dismisses Proud Boys Seditious Conspiracy Convictions After Presidential Pardons
U. S. District Judge Timothy Kelly dismissed the seditious conspiracy convictions of three Proud Boys leaders in a federal courtroom, granting the Justice Department’s request. The Guardian noted that the motion was driven by political considerations rather than legal merit.
Later, Fox News reported that the judge extended the dismissal to four Proud Boys members after an appeals court vacated their convictions, invoking separation-of-powers limits on judicial authority. He confirmed that the Justice Department had secured a full dismissal of the cases. PBS added that the final dismissals were justified by the lack of a legal basis following President Trump’s pardons and commutations related to the Jan. 6 attack.
