Joshua A. James, one of the Oath Keepers charged with trying to prevent the counting of Electoral College votes at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, pleaded guilty on March 2 to seditious conspiracy and obstruction of an official government proceeding and will face 7.25 to nine years in prison when he’s sentenced this summer.
As part of a plea agreement, James, 34, of Arab, Alabama, will cooperate with investigators and could sit for questioning before a grand jury on the role that the Oath Keepers played at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.
