Former Proud Boys national chairman Enrique Tarrio pleaded not guilty Tuesday to conspiracy to obstruct the counting of Electoral College votes on Jan. 6, 2021, obstruction of law enforcement, and five other federal charges lodged against him by federal prosecutors.

Tarrio, 38, of Miami, was the last of the six Proud Boys defendants named in a March 7 superseding indictment to enter a plea on the Jan. 6-related charges. His five co-defendants have also pleaded not guilty and will prepare for a trial that was supposed to start on May 18 but might not begin until 2023.
