The Oath Keepers not only “had no plan” to attack the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, but founder Elmer Stewart Rhodes III told his members that afternoon, “Whatever you do, don’t try to enter the Capitol,” Rhodes told the FBI in an extensive interview obtained by The Epoch Times.
Information from Rhodes’s interview with two FBI agents in Texas in May 2021 contradicts much of what’s in the January indictment charging him with seditious conspiracy, conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding, conspiracy to prevent an officer from discharging any duties, and two other Jan. 6 charges.
