Four more people associated with the Oath Keepers were convicted on Monday of conspiracy and obstruction charges stemming from the attack on the U.S. Capitol

The Oath Keepers have denied there was any plot to storm the Capitol or stop the certification. Defense lawyers have argued that their clients came to Washington only to watch President Donald Trump speak or provide security for speakers at events prior to the riot, and that those who entered the Capitol did so spontaneously.
Greene said he wasn’t a dues-paying member of the Oath Keepers but worked essentially as a contractor, providing security services, and was asked to come to Washington to help with security operations for events around the Capitol before the riot. Bennie Parker, who didn't go inside, told a reporter: “We had just had a presidential election and it’s been stolen from us. . . . all of these people out here are patriots. And if we need to, it’ll come to a civil war, and a lot of people are willing to take up their arms," according to the indictment.
