Nearly a dozen leaders of the far-right Oath Keepers group were charged by the U.S. Justice Department with conspiring to violently prevent the certification of Joe Biden as president last year.
The indictment filed Thursday in Washington, including one count of seditious conspiracy, represents the most serious criminal case brought so far over the insurrection at the U.S. Capitol by a mob of former President Donald Trump’s supporters. More than 700 people, including members of several right-wing groups, have been charged since the deadly assault on Jan. 6, 2021.
