Oath Keepers founder Stewart Rhodes sentenced to 18 years for Jan. 6 seditious conspiracy.

Stewart Rhodes, the founder of the far-right group known as the Oath Keepers, has been sentenced to 18 years in prison for seditious conspiracy and other crimes related to the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol, receiving the longest sentence in a Jan. 6 case to date. Prosecutors had asked for a sentence of 25 years in prison, saying Rhodes qualified for a more lengthy sentence under federal anti-terrorism laws given the "threat of harm and the historic significance" of his crimes.
