The Department of Justice (DOJ) has added four defendants to its conspiracy case against the Oath Keepers related to the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, CNN reported on Sunday, citing a new indictment made public in D.C. District Court.
The new defendants were identified as Florida residents Joseph Hackett, Jason Dolan and William Isaacs. A fourth person’s name and alleged actions were redacted, CNN reports.
The DOJ has been building its case against the far-right extremist group since a group of supporters of former President Trump breached the Capitol in an attempt to stop Congress from certifying President Biden’s Electoral College victory. At least a dozen people allegedly associated with the Oath Keepers face charges alleging they not only took part in the attack but coordinated their actions beforehand and communicated during the event.

In the just-released new Oath Keepers indictment: they went to D.C. to be militia if Trump invoked the Insurrection Act to prevent Congress from counting the electoral votes. https://t.co/Fr0IF7AdkD pic.twitter.com/fS4ctWVYLZ

Anyone else remember the extended freak out by Flynn and Patrick Byrne over whether they discussed martial law in the Oval Office on Dec 18, 2020? https://t.co/9ViPrG2kN7

It’s a problem that a former top national security official is calling for a military coup.
It’s a much bigger problem that elected Republicans are afraid to publicly condemn him.
