Oath Keepers leader says group didn’t plan to storm US Capitol

Al Jazeera  

Far-right group’s Stewart Rhodes tells jurors ‘there was no plan to enter’ Capitol building on January 6 last year. Oath Keepers leader Stewart Rhodes has told jurors there was no plan for members of his far-right group to attack the United States Capitol on January 6, 2021, as he tries to clear his name in his seditious conspiracy trial. Rhodes said he merely went to the Capitol to find his Oath Keepers followers who had not been sent on a security “mission” protecting figures such as Roger Stone, a longtime Trump confidant. One told jurors that Oath Keepers members were prepared to stop the certification of Biden’s electoral victory by “any means necessary”, including by taking up arms. In one text to Rhodes, another Oath Keeper on trial, Kelly Meggs, says he is busy setting up the quick reaction force, also known as a “QRF”.
