Russell Taylor was invited by a former congressman to attend the inauguration after being accused of organizing a group of “fighters” to travel to D.C. for Jan. 6, 2021.
Shane Lamond was charged for tipping then-Proud Boys chairman Enrique Tarrio off about the warrant out for his arrest in the leadup to the Capitol attack.

Defendant Russell Taylor organized a group of “fighters” to travel to Washington on Jan. 6, 2021, in response to Trump’s tweet telling supporters the day “will be wild.”
“Trump’s gonna pardon me,” Phil Grillo, who previously ran for the House seat held by George Santos, said after he was sentenced and taken into custody.
Enrique Tarrio took the stand at the trial of Shane Lamond, the former police intelligence official charged with tipping Tarrio off about a warrant out for his arrest before Jan. 6.
The Justice Department expects President-elect Donald Trump to roll back its Jan. 6 probe and is focused on arresting and prosecuting the most violent outstanding rioters.
