(CNN) The leader of the Proud Boys, Enrique Tarrio, pleaded not guilty on Tuesday to conspiracy related to the US Capitol attack on January 6, 2021. Tarrio, 38, was indicted in March with five previously charged members of the Proud Boys. Prosecutors told a federal judge in March that they continue to investigate the Proud Boys, and that they believe they've found information to support additional charges. Others could be charged in the conspiracy case in the coming weeks, the Justice Department said. According to the indictment, Tarrio helped to create a command structure within the Proud Boys in the lead up to January 6.
