CBSN
Federal prosecutors played a recording of Oath Keepers founder Stewart Rhodes meeting with members of his far-right militia on Jan. 10, 2021, days after he and other Oath Keepers allegedly participated in an attack on the U.S. Capitol building.
"My only regret is they should have brought rifles," Rhodes says in the recording, which was obtained by the FBI. "We should have brought rifles. We could have fixed it right then and there. I'd hang [f******] Pelosi from the lamppost."
The trial revelation came five days after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's husband was assaulted in their San Francisco home in an unrelated attack. The assailant told police he had intended to kidnap Nancy Pelosi and threatened to break her kneecaps.
