Elected US officials, police chiefs, military personnel named on leaked Oath Keepers membership list

A new report has revealed the names of hundreds of US law enforcement officers, elected officials and military members appear on the leaked membership rolls of a far-right extremist group that is accused of playing a key role in the January 6, 2021, insurrection at the US Capitol.

The Anti-Defamation League's Center on Extremism pored over more than 38,000 names on leaked Oath Keepers membership lists and identified more than 370 people it believed were still working in law enforcement agencies — including as police chiefs and sheriffs — as well as more than 100 people who are currently members of the military.
