The lawsuit, filed in Florida on Friday, claims FBI agents and prosecutors were motivated by personal biases when prosecuting their cases. The lawsuit was filed by Henry "Enrique" Tarrio, Ethan Nordean, Joseph Biggs, Zachary Rehl and Dominic Pezzola. They were given clemency by Trump, who issued approximately 1,500 pardons of people involved in the Capitol riot the day he was inaugurated in January. The lawsuit filed on Friday alleges the five leaders of the Proud Boys were subject to "egregious and systemic abuse of the legal system". Approximately 1,583 defendants have been charged with crimes associated with the Capitol riot, according to figures released by the department in January.
