Rehl, a former local Proud Boys leader, is standing trial with the group’s former national chairman Enrique Tarrio and members Ethan, Joseph Biggs and Dominic Pezzola for alleged seditious conspiracy and other charges in an indictment accusing them of conspiring "to oppose the lawful transfer of presidential power by force." After the government said Wednesday that an individual scheduled to appear in the trial as a defense witness had served as an FBI confidential human source from April 2021 to January 2023, Rhel’s attorney Carmen Hernandez filed a motion demanding that the government disclose all FBI or DOJ reports, recordings, and memoranda about "any reporting on and recordings of the defense team."
The DOJ’s Thursday response filing denied the existence of any such reports, recordings or memoranda, despite admitting the source told the FBI around Jan. 9 that she had been subpoenaed to testify in the case and already participated in a deposition. The DOJ contended that the source’s FBI reporting only became relevant in the case after Tarrio’s defense announced on Wednesday that they intended to draw evidence related to the reporting and call her to testify.
