Multiple Oath Keepers convicted for roles in Jan. 6 Capitol attack

Four associates of the far-right Oath Keepers militia group have been found guilty of conspiracy for their role in the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol. Six members of the Oath Keepers were previously found guilty of seditious conspiracy. The defendants argued that the events of Jan. 6 were more of a spontaneous outburst stemming from peaceful protest and not part of a coordinated effort to topple the government. Defense counsel is expected to challenge the verdict in court. The trial of five accused members of another far-right group known as the Proud Boys is expected to continue at least through the end of the month.
