JUST IN: Federal jury reaches verdict in the seditious conspiracy trial of five Oath Keepers members charged in connection with the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.
The trial featured extensive Signal messages exchanged by members of the alleged conspiracy, along with substantial audio of Rhodes both before and after the Jan. 6 attack. In a conference call in November 2020, which was recorded by at least one member, Rhodes said that those who opposed Biden were on the same path as the Founding Fathers were before the American Revolution.
Prosecutors also played audio of Rhodes continuing to plot to oppose the government after the Jan. 6 attack. The trial also featured testimony from Michael Greene, aka"Whip," who waived his Fifth Amendment right in order to testify on Rhodes' behalf. Greene, a military veteran who worked for the company formerly known as Blackwater, testified that the Oath Keepers were on a security mission and that he didn't take Rhodes' talk about civil war seriously.
