Defense attorneys in the Oath Keepers seditious-conspiracy trial renewed their request to block federal prosecutors from mentioning two hand grenades allegedly brought to the Washington area after they discovered that DNA found on the grenades does not belong to Florida Oath Keepers member Jeremy Brown.

Attorneys for Oath Keepers defendants Kenneth Harrelson and Kelly Meggs filed a motion (pdf) with U.S. District Judge Amit Mehta asking him to reconsider his Sept. 6 ruling allowing the U.S. Department of Justice to mention the hand grenades in the ongoing trial of four Oath Keepers and one associate.
