The first week of the seditious conspiracy trial against members of the Oath Keepers concluded today, with prosecutors and defense attorneys working to shape the narrative around what the extremist far-right group was planning in the lead-up to the January 6, 2021, US Capitol attack.

As they began their case, prosecutors have called six witnesses, including law enforcement as well as current and former members of the Oath Keepers.

Prosecutors have heavily relied on what they say are the defendants’ own words in group chats, online postings and speeches to form the basis of the alleged conspiracy.

The five defendants, charged with seditious conspiracy, have pleaded not guilty.
