A jury found Oath Keepers founder Elmer Stewart Rhodes guilty Tuesday of engaging in a seditious conspiracy to prevent the peaceful transfer of power from former President Donald Trump to now-President Joe Biden, handing the Justice Department a victory in a prosecution featuring the most significant charges connected to the January 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol.
Rhodes was convicted of seditious conspiracy alongside Kelly Meggs, another member of the Oath Keepers, but the jury found three other members of the far-right group not guilty of that charge. Those three others — Kenneth Harrelson, Jessica Watkins, and Thomas Caldwell — were found guilty of separate charges.
