WASHINGTON (CN) A District of Columbia judge on Friday granted a default judgment against the far-right Proud Boys after the group gave the cold shoulder to a historic Black church’s lawsuit over destruction of Black Lives Matter flags.
Two days before hundreds of pro-Trump rioters stormed the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, the Trump-aligned extremist group Proud Boys was sued in D.C. Superior Court by a Washington church that claims it was terrorized in December 2020 when members of the group vandalized Black Lives Matter signs after a pro-Trump rally.
