They wanted to reverse the verdict of the polls by violence. Four members of the far-right Oath Keepers militia were found guilty by a popular jury of “seditious conspiracy” for Monday’s storming of the Capitol. They will know their sentence at a later date and risk a maximum of 20 years in prison, just like their leader, Suart Rhodes, convicted last November.
This is a victory for the Department of Justice, as the trial of members of another militia, the Proud Boys, has just begun.
