A new video showing leaders of Oath Keepers and Proud Boys meeting up a day before the attack on the U.S. Capitol has emerged.
The Justice Department has released six new videos that show Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio and Oath Keepers leader meeting up just 24 hours prior to the January attack. CNN reports the videos were released after CNN and other news outlets filed a lawsuit for access to them.
There are many details at this time about what exactly was discussed during the meetup, but the footage – which was shot by a documentary film crew – shows the two alleged extremists meeting in the garage of a Washington, D.C. hotel.
In the video, Tarrio can be seen introducing himself to Rhodes and talking to Bianca Gracia, the president of Latinos for Trump. Others who were there included the founder of Vets for Trump, Joshua Macias.
While there, the group reportedly discussed Tarrio being ordered to leave D.C. and how he wanted to regain control of the Proud Boys, among other things. “They kept my phone and my laptop,” Tarrio said to Gracia in one video, CNN reports. “My laptop doesn’t have anything. My phone doesn’t have anything either so you don’t have to worry.”
CNN reports Gracias nor Macias have received charges related to the attack.
