Proud Boy argues that Tucker Carlson's misleading January 6 footage should be reason to dismiss his seditious-conspiracy case

• Tucker Carlson's January 6 footage has been brought up in a January 6 seditious conspiracy trial.
• Lawyers representing a Proud Boys member asked a federal judge to dismiss his case.
• "This footage is plainly exculpatory," the lawyers wrote in a court filing.

Lawyers representing one of the five Proud Boys members charged with seditious conspiracy in connection to the January 6 riot asked the judge to dismiss the case on Thursday, pointing to Capitol security footage played on Fox New host Tucker Carlson's show as their defense.
