The former chairman of the Proud Boys, who is serving 22 years in federal prison after being convicted of seditious conspiracy following the Jan. 6 Capitol riots, has requested a pardon from President-elect Donald Trump.

42-year-old Henry "Enrique" Tarrio was found guilty of seditious conspiracy in May of 2023, along with three other members of the Proud Boys, a far-right militant organization, who were involved in the attacks on the US Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.
