A member of the far-right Oath Keepers who stormed the U.S. Capitol testified that he was ready to fight to keep former President Donald Trump in office and was preparing himself in the weeks before Jan. 6 to say goodbye to his family.
Other cooperating defendants are also expected to testify in the trial. Dolan has not pleaded guilty to seditious conspiracy;Dolan testified Tuesday that before the Jan. 6 attack, he was drinking — often alone and in his garage — and getting sucked into online conspiracy theories."I was watching a lot of videos about the election. At the time I felt like the election had been stolen," he said.
"I think my biggest trouble is trying to convince myself to say good bye to my family, after all they had to endure, with the likelihood of never seeing them again," Dolan wrote in the message to other Florida Oath Keepers.
