WASHINGTON—An FBI agent alleged in federal court on Oct. 4 that Thomas Caldwell organized a plan for the Oath Keepers to quickly bring weapons from a hotel in Virginia via a boat across the Potomac River to the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.
FBI Special Agent Michael Palian testified that he arrested Caldwell not because he was described as a “commander” of the Oath Keepers on social media, but because the plan to bring the weapons was part of an alleged scheme to interfere with the certification of the Electoral College vote.
