Oath Keepers President Stewart Rhodes
Oath Keepers leader Stewart Rhodes has pleaded not guilty to the charge of “seditious conspiracy.”
Rhodes, and ten other members of the organization, were arrested and charged with the extreme offense over their roles in the January 6 protest at the Capitol.
“A federal grand jury in the District of Columbia returned an indictment yesterday, which was unsealed today, charging 11 defendants with seditious conspiracy and other charges for crimes related to the breach of the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, which disrupted a joint session of the U.S. Congress that was in the process of ascertaining and counting the electoral votes related to the presidential election,” the Justice Department said in a press release about the arrests.
