TL;DR Summary

Victims of the Jan. 6 Capitol riot testified in court on Wednesday, describing the trauma they have lived with since the attack. The testimony came during the sentencing hearings for the leaders of the Oath Keepers, a far-right militia-style organization that was involved in the attack. The group's leader, Stewart Rhodes, was convicted last year of seditious conspiracy. Prosecutors are seeking a 25-year prison term for Rhodes, who they say was the ringleader of the Oath Keepers' role in the attack. The sentencing hearings are the first for any Jan. 6 defendants convicted of seditious conspiracy.
