The Oath Keepers founder may testify for the Jan. 6 committee if they meet his demands, his attorney said on Friday.
The Oath Keepers, founded by Rhodes in 2009, are known as a far-right militia and anti-government that often targets members of law enforcement and veterans. They are labeled an"extremist group" by the Southern Poverty Law Center, and members are accused of helping plot the January 6 riot.
Rhodes was charged in January with seditious conspiracy for his role in the riot. He did not enter the Capitol building himself, but he and other leaders were accused of"organizing trainings to teach and learn paramilitary combat tactics; bringing and contributing paramilitary gear, weapons, and supplies...to the Capitol grounds."
Stewart Rhodes, founder of the far-right group Oath Keepers, may testify before the January 6 committee. His testimony could prove a link between the group and members of Trump’s team, according to legal analyst Glenn Kirschner. Above, a photo of Rhodes is seen during a House select committee hearing on June 9.Rhodes will agree to testify to the committee if they allow him to do so in-person at the U.S. Capitol rather than in jail, his attorney James Bright told Politico on Friday.
Bright told Politico that even though it may be difficult to make arrangements in time for Tuesday's hearing, he hopes lawmakers would schedule a separate day for Rhodes to provide his testimony.
