WASHINGTON—Former Oath Keeper Jason Dolan testified on Oct. 19 that since joining the Oath Keepers, he didn’t hear members planning to breach the Capitol on January 6, 2021.
During cross-examination, Dolan testified that the Oath Keepers had no intention of attacking the Capitol or stopping the certification of the electoral college votes. He didn’t witness any conversation online or in person about Oath Keepers planning to be violent or force their way into the Capitol on January 6. He heard no talk of overthrowing the government either.
Defense attorney Philip Linder questioned him if anyone on Jan. 6, 2021, said, “Hey, let’s go get our firearms to D.C. and go crazy!” Dolan responded no. Linder asked if there was any conversation about getting guns and having a fight. “No, not exactly,” Dolan said.While Dolan was with Kenneth Harrelson, a defendant on trial, on the Capitol grounds, he doesn’t recall talking to him about whether they should enter the Capitol or not. Dolan said he entered the Capitol because the crowd went in.
