Biggs and Tarrio are both facing charges right now, as are other Proud Boys who allegedly helped storm the U.S. Capitol. Biggs appears in video footage leading a crew to the that day w Ethan Nordean, a Washington man who was arrested this morning on charges w a max 20-yr sentence
News of Nordean's arrest wasn't out yet when Biggs and I talked. But he did tell me: “This will all be over for me soon.”
