Ex-Proud Boy Josh Pruitt Could Have 1/6 Pretrial Release Yanked; Said He Might 'Do it Again'
Federal prosecutors are seeking to put a former Proud Boys member charged in the Capitol riot of Jan. 6, 2021, behind bars after he said he might "do it again" during a CNN interview.
U.S. Attorney Matthew Graves asked for the pretrial release of Joshua Pruitt to be revoked in a brief filed on Thursday, the one-year anniversary of the Capitol attack. The document cited repeated violations of the conditions of Pruitt's release one day after the accused rioter said that he did not believe he had done anything "wrong."
"If you ask me if I'd do it again, I want to say yes," Pruitt told CNN on Wednesday. "But then I'd question in the back of my head, would I? ... I don't feel I've done anything wrong but knowing the consequences that came out of it would be the part that would make me question it."
"I was just a patriot out there, you know, protesting against what I think is a stolen election," he added. "Trying to send me to prison for a few years over this I think is a complete joke."
