Justice Department moves to toss conspiracy convictions for Jan. 6 rioters

The Justice Department's filing on Tuesday asks a federal appeals court to review and potentially dismiss the seditious conspiracy convictions against several leaders of the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers. These individuals were found guilty for their roles in the events of January 6, 2021, at the U.S. Capitol. The request signals a significant development in the ongoing legal proceedings stemming from the Capitol attack.
