A Washington DC police officer is arrested on charges that he lied about leaking confidential information to Proud Boys extremist group leader Enrique Tarrio.
The Metropolitan Police Department said on Friday that it would do an internal review after the federal case against Lieutenant Lamond is resolved.
Tarrio's defence sought to use messages showing that Tarrio was informing Lieutenant Lamond of the Proud Boys plans in Washington in order to support Tarrio's claims that he was looking to avoid violence, not create it. The defence accused the Justice Department of trying to bully Lieutenant Lamond into keeping quiet because his testimony would hurt their case — a charge prosecutors vehemently denied.
Lieutenant Lamond began using the Telegram messaging platform to give Tarrio information about law enforcement activity around July 2020, about a year after they started talking, according to prosecutors.In December 2020, Lieutenant Lamond told Tarrio about where competing anti-fascist activists were expected to be.
