Federal prosecutors have denied planting manufactured evidence on Enrique Tarrio to frame him and other Proud Boys defendants for alleged Jan. 6 crimes, saying that assertions made by the defense counsel are “simply incorrect.”
“The government robustly agrees with defendant [Dominic] Pezzola that it would have been egregiously improper for a member of the U.S. intelligence community to have conducted a domestic intelligence operation targeting Enrique Tarrio, a U.S. person, and providing him with a plan to ‘storm’ (or ‘occupy’ or ‘sit in’) House and Senate office buildings on January 6,” the U.S. Department of Justice wrote in a court filing late on Feb. 13.
