WASHINGTON—The judge in charge of the Oath Keepers trial said Sept. 28 that he will not disqualify any potential jurors based only on their opinions of the Jan. 6, 2021, breach of the U.S. Capitol.

U.S. District Judge Amit Mehta, an Obama appointee, said that disqualifications will not be entered solely based on opinions on Jan. 6 or the Oath Keepers, provided potential jurors can convince him that they would assess the evidence presented in court objectively.
