Oath Keepers founder Stewart Rhodes is asking for a sentence of time served, after he was convicted of seditious conspiracy for what prosecutors argued was a violent plan to ensure former President Donald Trump remained in the White House, though he had lost the 2020 presidential election.
The Justice Department is seeking a 25-year prison sentence for Rhodes. A jury in Washington, D.C., convicted Rhodes in November for his role in the riot at the Capitol. Rhodes has been held in jail in Virginia since his arrest in January 2022.
Rhodes' co-defendant and Florida Oath Keeper leader Kelly Meggs was also convicted of seditious conspiracy at the time, as were four other Oath Keepers at a separate trial.
