(Newser) – A federal indictment charges two members of the far-right Proud Boys with 11 new counts for their involvement in the attack on the Capitol, including conspiracy. Dominic Pezzola,43, and William Pepe,31, already faced lesser charges in the riot, and were arrested earlier this month, the New York Times reports. The indictment filed Friday adds 11 counts. Only three other suspects in the riot investigation face conspiracy charges—members of the Oath Keepers militia group accused of plotting since November to block congressional certification of President Biden’s electoral victory.
