Oath Keepers founder Stewart Rhodes, one of the most infamous Capitol rioters, was spotted in a congressional office building on Wednesday, just days after being set free by President Trump.
Stewart Rhodes, the former head of the Oath Keepers militia, was among Jan. 6 inmates freed under President Trump's pardons and commutations.
He issued formal pardons to more than 1,550 rioters charged with a wide range of crimes and commuted the sentences of 14 members of far-right groups.
Oath Keepers founder Stewart Rhodes, who graduated from UNLV and was involved in the 2014 Bundy ranch standoff, had his 18-year prison sentence commuted by Donald Trump.
Oath Keepers founder Stewart Rhodes, the far-right extremist group leader convicted of seditious conspiracy in the Jan. 6, 2021, attack, has visited Capitol Hill after President Donald Trump commuted his 18-year prison sentence.
Stewart Rhodes was serving an 18-year prison sentence for seditious conspiracy when he was freed by President Trump.
Rhodes was sentenced to 18 years in May 2023 after a jury found him guilty of conspiring to stop the transfer of power and other charges. In September 2023, Tarrio, who asked Trump for a full pardon on the fourth anniversary of the insurrection, was sentenced to 22 years.
Five of the Oath Keepers who had sentences commuted by the president -- including Rhodes, who was facing 18 years in prison for seditious conspiracy -- were military veterans.
Barring a few exceptions, Senate Republicans on Tuesday largely deflected or altogether avoided questions about President Donald Trump’s broad clemency for over 1,500 defendants who stormed the U.S. Capitol on Jan.
