A second federal judge has ordered Stewart Rhodes, founder and leader of the extremist group Oath Keepers, to remain jailed pending trial on a charge of seditious conspiracy for allegedly guiding a months-long effort to use political violence to prevent the swearing-in of President Biden.
U.S. District Judge Amit Mehta of Washington on Friday denied Rhodes’s renewed request for bond pending a July trial, calling his case the most serious brought against nearly 750 federal defendants charged in connection with the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol.
