Oath Keeper brought explosives to D.C. ahead of Jan. 6 riot, DOJ says

Details: DOJ prosecutors plan to present this in the September trial of several Oath Keepers. Brown is not part of that trial.

• They will argue that this evidence shows that the members charged with seditious conspiracy had the "manner and means" to "advance the goals of the charged conspiracy."
• "Indeed, possessing, transporting and storing various weapons around the Washington, D.C., area was part and parcel to organizing and executing" the riot.

Catch up fast: Stewart Rhodes, a founder and leader of the Oath Keepers, and eight other militia members were arrested and charged for their role in organizing the Jan. 6 insurrection.

• An indictment amended this week says that "Rhodes and certain conspirators ... coordinated travel across the country to enter Washington, D.C., equipped themselves with a variety of weapons, donned combat and tactical gear, and were prepared to answer Rhodes' call to take up arms at Rhodes' direction."
