Oath Keepers Jury Told of Massive Weapons Cache on Jan. 6
A Trump Employee Told the FBI the Former President Ordered Staff to Move Boxes of Documents at Mar-a-Lago
Defense lawyers have said the Oath Keepers often set up quick reaction forces for events, but insist they were defensive forces only to be used to protect against violence from antifa activists or in the event Trump invoked the Insurrection Act. They are not facing any gun charges for bringing the weapons to Virginia.
Cummings said his understanding was the quick reaction forces “would potentially be used not as an offensive situation, but more as a show of force.” Eleven members of the far right militia group the Oath Keepers, including its founder Stewart Rhodes, have been charged with seditious conspiracy in the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol. Legal analyst Danny Cevallos breaks down the strengths and weaknesses of the case against them — and explains why the charges may spell trouble for President Trump.
Prosecutors have described surveillance footage that they say shows Oath Keepers rolling bags, large bins and what appears to be at least one rifle case into the hotel.
