Multiple Oath Keepers sentenced to prison for Jan. 6 Capitol riot involvement.

Two members of the far-right Oath Keepers group, David Moerschel and Joseph Hackett, have been sentenced to three and three and a half years in prison, respectively, for their roles in the January 6 Capitol riot. Both were convicted of seditious conspiracy and other charges. The men helped amass guns and ammunition to stash in a Virginia hotel for a so-called “quick reaction force” that could be quickly shuttled to Washington, prosecutors said. The weapons were never deployed. Nine people associated with the Oath Keepers have been tried for seditious conspiracy and six were convicted of the rarely used Civil War-era charge in two separate trials, including the group’s founder Stewart Rhodes.
