The leader of the far-right anti-government militia group the Oath Keepers was sentenced to 18 years in prison, after federal prosecutors argued that Stewart Rhodes committed an act of terrorism by conspiring to commit treason in what became a violent attempt to overturn the results of an American election.
Last year, a jury found Rhodes guilty of seditious conspiracy in connection with the attack on the US Capitol on 6 January 2021. He wore a prison-issued orange jumpsuit to his sentencing hearing in US District Court in Washington DC on 25 May.
