The Most Severe Charges Yet

Eleven Oath Keepers have been arrested on sedition charges for their involvement in the Jan. 6 Capitol Riots.

More than 700 rioters have been charged over several months of the Jan. 6 investigation. However, the "legal weight and political overtones" carried by these seditious conspiracy charges against Stewart Rhodes, leader and founder of the Oath Keepers, and 10 other members have been the most severe charges yet--carrying a maximum of 20 years in prison. According to the indictment, the Oath Keepers charged into the Capitol, under Rhodes' command, in search of Nancy Pelosi. Others were stationed in a nearby hotel, armed and ready to storm into the Capitol if needed.
