Federal prosecutors have asked to delay the sentencing of seven Oath Keepers who took plea deals and have been assisting the FBI with its ongoing Jan. 6 investigation.

In a motion filed with U.S. District Judge Amit Mehta on Nov. 22, the U.S. Department of Justice requested sentencing hearings for the Oath Keepers be moved to between February and April 2024.
