Oath Keeper pleads guilty to conspiracy for Capitol riot
Al JazeeraGraydon Young, one of 14 Oath Keepers charged, pleads guilty on Wednesday as cases against rioters continue. A member of the right-wing Oath Keepers militia group on Wednesday became the first to plead guilty to a charge of conspiracy related to the January 6 attack on the United States Capitol by supporters of then-President Donald Trump. Young is one of the 14 members of the Oath Keepers group charged with crimes including conspiracy and obstruction of an official proceeding for taking part in the assault on Congress and the only Oath Keeper to plead guilty to conspiracy so far. To that effect, four of us would like to train with you.” The indictment says Young and eight other indicted Oath Keepers pushed their way in a “stack” up the steps on the east side of the Capitol building. The Oath Keepers are a loosely organised group of activists who believe that the federal government is encroaching on their rights, and “explicitly focus” on recruiting current and former police, emergency services and military members.
