Oath Keepers Sentenced for Capitol Attack and Betrayal
TL;DR Summary
Two Army veterans who stormed the U.S. Capitol in a military-style formation with fellow members of the Oath Keepers were sentenced Friday to prison terms, a day after the far-right extremist group's founder received a record-setting 18-years behind bars in the Jan. 6, 2021, attack. Jessica Watkins was sentenced to eight years and six months behind bars and Kenneth Harrelson to four years in prison. The charges against leaders of the Oath Keepers and another extremist group, the Proud Boys, are among the most serious brought in the Justice Department's massive investigation of the riot.
