Case Summary
Federal prosecutors say Cory Konold traveled to Washington, D.C., along with his sister, Felicia Konold. They were allegedly part of a group of Proud Boys, the far-right extremist group, that joined in the attack on the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. Both Konolds allegedly led confrontations with Capitol Police guarding the Capitol and "used their hands and bodies in an effort to disrupt or dismantle the metal barriers that officers were using to control the crowd." They can then be seen in footage from inside the Capitol, prosecutors say. Both Konolds now face charges of conspiracy related to the attack on the Capitol.

Konold pleaded Guilty to one charge: Obstruction of Law Enforcement During Civil Disorder and Aiding and Abetting. The other charges are dismissed.

Konold received a full pardon on January 20, 2025
