A jury in Washington D.C. has found four members of the Oath Keepers guilty of conspiring to obstruct an official proceeding in connection with the January 6th attack on the U.S. Capitol. The jury also found two other defendants guilty of entering and remaining on restricted grounds, but acquitted them of the most serious charges.

Michael Greene, another member of the Oath Keepers, was found not guilty of conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding, but the jury is still debating whether he was guilty of aiding or abetting the obstruction of an official proceeding. Bennie Parker was found not guilty of aiding or abetting, but the jury is still deliberating the conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding charge.

The four defendants found guilty of conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding are Sandra Parker, Laura Steele, Connie Meggs and William Isaacs. They were accused of entering the Capitol during the riot and attempting to make their way to the Senate chamber before being deterred by pepper spray and police officers in the building.

The judge has ordered the jury to continue deliberating the most serious counts against the two remaining defendants. It is unclear when the jury will reach a verdict.
