Oath Keepers leader faces 25-year prison sentence.

The Justice Department has requested a 25-year prison sentence for Stewart Rhodes, the founder of the far-right Oath Keepers, who was convicted of seditious conspiracy and obstructing an official proceeding for his role in the January 6, 2021, attack on the US Capitol. Rhodes and four other defendants were accused of conspiring to forcibly stop the peaceful transfer of presidential power and plotting to attack the Capitol. The trial was a major test of the Justice Department's ability to hold Capitol rioters accountable.
