A federal prosecutor has told a United States court that four members of the far-right Oath Keepers should be found guilty of seditious conspiracy for plotting to use force to stop the peaceful transfer of power at the US Capitol last year, in order to keep Donald Trump in the White House.Monday marked the beginning of the US Department of Justice’s second major January 6, 2021, sedition trial, this time involving Oath Keeper defendants David Moerschel, Joseph Hackett, Roberto Minuta and Edward Vallejo.“These defendants decided to take the presidential election into their own hands when they tried to stop the presidential transfer of power by force for the first time in our country’s history,” federal prosecutor Troy Edwards said in laying out the government’s argument.
