Stewart Rhodes, the founder of the far-right paramilitary group Oath Keepers, was convicted by a jury on Tuesday of conspiracy to treason for last year's attack on the United States Capitol in a failed attempt to overturn the election loss of then-President Donald Trump. The decision represents a significant victory for the Department of Justice.

Rhodes, a Yale law graduate, former U.S. Army paratrooper and disbarred attorney, was accused by prosecutors during an eight-week trial of instigating a scheme to use force to halted Congressional certification of President Joe Biden's election victory.

Rhodes was the most well-known of the 5 defendants in the most significant trial brought after the deadly January 6, 2021 attack on the Capitol. Another defendant, Kelly Meggs, was also found guilty Tuesday of conspiracy to riot, while three others — Kenneth Harrelson, Jessica Watkins and Thomas Caldwell — were found not guilty of the charge.

Rhodes founded the paramilitary group Oath Keepers in 2009, whose members include active and former military, law enforcement officers and emergency responders. Members of this group have often appeared, even heavily armed, in protests and political activities throughout the United States, including in the demonstrations that followed the killing of African-American George Floyd by a white police officer in the city of Minneapolis.

The defendants were accused of creating a "quick reaction force" that prosecutors said was stationed at a hotel in Virginia and equipped with firearms that could be quickly transported to Washington if the need arose.

Four other members of the Oath Keepers group charged with conspiracy to rebel will go on trial in December. Members of another right-wing group called the Proud Boys, including their former leader Enrique Tarrio, will also go on trial on charges of conspiracy to rebel in December.
