Seditious conspiracy: 11 Oath Keepers charged over January 6 riot
Washington | Stewart Rhodes, the founder and leader of the far-right Oath Keepers militia group, and 10 other members or associates have been charged with seditious conspiracy in the violent attack on the US Capitol, authorities said on Thursday (Friday AEDT).
Despite hundreds of charges already brought in the year since pro-Trump rioters stormed the Capitol in an effort to stop the certification of President Joe Biden’s 2020 election victory, these were the first seditious conspiracy charges levied in connection with the attack on January 6, 2021.
