Verdict imminent in Oath Keepers trial


Here's a look at all the charges:

- Seditious conspiracy: All five defendants are accused of planning to use force to stop the lawful transfer of presidential power on Jan. 6.

- Conspiracy to obstruct and obstructing an official proceeding: The defendants are all facing charges alleging that they conspired together to, and did, stop Congress from certifying the electoral college votes inside the Capitol.

- Conspiracy to prevent an officer from discharging any duties: This charge also relates to the certification of the electoral college vote. The indictment alleges that all five defendants worked together to “prevent by force, intimidation, and threat… Members of the United States Congress, from discharging any duties,” namely, certifying the election.

- Destruction of government property and aiding and abetting: Meggs, Harrelson and Watkins, according to prosecutors, were part of a crowd that burst through the Capitol’s Rotunda doors on Jan. 6. They are not alleged to have broken the doors themselves.

- Civil disorder and aiding and abetting: Jurors will consider whether Jessica Watkins interfered with law enforcement when she allegedly joined a crowd near the Senate chamber, pushed against and shouted at officers who were guarding the chamber doors.

- Tampering with documents or proceedings and aiding and abetting: Rhodes, Meggs, Harrelson and Caldwell are each facing charges for allegedly deleting messages and pictures from their phones or social media accounts after Jan. 6. Prosecutors also allege that Rhodes instructed other Oath Keepers to delete messages after the riot.
