Four months and hundreds of arrests after the chaos at the Capitol, the investigation into the Jan. 6 attack by a pro-Trump mob has come into focus. More than two dozen alleged members or supporters of the Proud Boys have been charged with committing crimes surrounding the Capitol riot. Proud Boys members Joseph Biggs, left, and Ethan Nordean, at right with megaphone, walk toward the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6. . The percentage of Jan. 6 defendants jailed pretrial is far lower than the nearly 75 percent of federal defendants nationwide. For example, about half of Jan. 6 defendants charged with assaulting police remain held, about 30 of 75.
