Monday of conspiracy and obstruction charges stemming from the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol in the latest trial involving members of the far-right antigovernment extremist group.
Conspiracy to obstruct Congress and obstruction of Congress both carry a sentence of up to 20 years behind bars.Former President Trump has called for protests if he is indicted by a grand jury in New York. Police there and in L.A. say they are monitoring. The Oath Keepers have denied there was any plot to storm the Capitol or stop the certification. Defense lawyers have argued that their clients came to Washington only to watch then-Presidentspeak or to provide security for speakers at events before the riot, and that those who entered the Capitol did so spontaneously.
Authorities said Sandra Parker, Connie Meggs, Isaacs and Steele were part of the group of Oath Keepers who stormed the Capitol after marching in military-style “stack” formation up the steps of the building.
