An ex-Washington police officer is convicted of lying about leaks to the Proud Boys leader

Associated Press  

WASHINGTON — A retired police officer in the nation’s capital was convicted Monday of lying to authorities about leaking confidential information to the leader of the Proud Boys extremist group. “There is nothing disloyal about him at all, and it’s a sad day for him.” Tarrio eventually pleaded guilty to burning the banner stolen from a historic Black church in downtown Washington in December 2020. Lamond’s indictment says he and Tarrio exchanged messages about the Jan. 6 riot and discussed whether Proud Boys members were in danger of being charged in the attack. Lamond said he was upset that a prosecutor labeled him as a Proud Boys “sympathizer” who acted as a “double agent” for the group after Tarrio burned a stolen Black Lives Matter banner in December 2020. Justice Department prosecutor Joshua Rothstein pointed to messages that suggest Lamond provided Tarrio with “real-time updates” on the police investigation of the Dec. 12, 2020, banner burning.
