The Justice Department moved Tuesday to seek dismissal of seditious conspiracy convictions against leaders of the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers, marking the latest step in the Trump administration's effort to unwind prosecutions tied to the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol.
In a filing to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, federal prosecutors asked to "vacate" convictions of several group leaders whose prison sentences had already been commuted by President Donald Trump at the start of his second term.
