Oath Keepers member to plead guilty to sedition in U.S. Capitol attack – By Jan Wolfe (Reuters) / May 4, 2022
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – A member of the far-right Oath Keepers militia group intends to admit to engaging in seditious conspiracy during last year’s attack on the U.S. Capitol, according to court papers, the latest in a string of courtroom victories for the Justice Department.
William Todd Wilson of North Carolina is due to plead guilty during a federal court hearing scheduled for 3 p.m. ET (1900 GMT) in Washington, according to a court filing. Wilson would become the third Oath Keepers defendant to plead guilty to seditious conspiracy and obstruction charges.
Several other defendants are still on track for a trial later this year, including Stewart Rhodes, the founder of the Oath Keepers.
