U.S. District Judge Amit Mehta, who will oversee the trial, said Wednesday that granting Rhodes' request would create"havoc" and that a delay would push the trial back to at least next summer given how many cases are on the docket, including trials for other members of the Oath Keepers and the Proud Boys in connection with the riots on Jan. 6, 2021, and hundreds more Capitol attack cases.
“Jan. 6 has committed a massive traffic jam of cases, and that is just the reality of it,” Mehta said.
