The president of the Philadelphia chapter of the far-right Proud Boys testified Tuesday that he could not recall if he used pepper spray against officers at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6.
Zachary Rehl, a 37-year-old from northeast Philadelphia, is both the son and grandson of Philadelphia Police officers. He is on trial for seditious conspiracy alongside four other defendants: Enrique Tarrio, Ethan Nordean, Joseph Biggs and Dominic Pezzola, who was captured on video smashing in a window during the initial breach of the Capitol.
Jury selection in the case began in December, and the trial got underway in January. As Rehl testified this week, federal prosecutors presented video evidence that they suggested showed Rehl using pepper spray against police officers on the western front of the U.S. Capitol during the attack, though the government has not explicitly charged him with it.

Isaiah Giddings, who pleaded guilty in December, said in his agreed-upon statement of offense, said that Rehl was angrier than Giddings had ever seen him, and had “asked other rioters if they had bear spray,” but the statement said that Rehl did not obtain bear spray."...
