The former leader of the Proud Boys, Enrique Tarrio, is expected to testify as a defense witness for Lt. Shane Lamond, a former Washington, D.C., Metropolitan Police Department officer.

In response to claims of bias, Lamond’s attorney, Ana Jara, firmly rejected the suggestion that Lamond sympathized with the Proud Boys, calling it:
