Less than a week after the Oath Keepers’ counsel was arrested and charged in connection with the attack on the US Capitol, the founder of the far-right anti-government militia has “relieved and terminated” his attorneys and asked to delay his trial on seditious conspiracy charges.
Stewart Rhodes also has requested transcripts from witness testimony to the House select committee investigating the 6 January, 2021 assault, including interviews with Kelly SoRelle, the Oath Keepers’ general counsel who spoke with the committee earlier this year and was arrested in Texas last week.
