A member of the Proud Boys pleaded guilty on Wednesday to two felony charges stemming from his participation at the Capitol riot on January 6 and agreed to cooperate with the government's investigation.
Matthew Greene, a National Guard veteran who prosecutors say is a member of his local chapter of the Proud Boys in Syracuse, New York, pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy and one count of obstructing the official proceeding of Congress' certification of the electoral college votes during the January 6 Capitol attack.
In court, prosecutors said they plan to recommend a sentence of 41 to 51 months in prison based on calculated guidelines. Greene is currently behind bars, and his sentencing hearing is scheduled for March 2022.
