Oath Keepers founder Stewart Rhodes was spotted at the U.S. Capitol just days after President Trump commuted his 18-year prison sentence for his role in the Jan. 6 riots.

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.

The Oath Keepers founder met with Republican Rep. Gus Bilirakis of Florida to lobby for a pardon for fellow Oath Keeper and January 6 rioter Jeremy Brown, who was sentenced to seven years in prison on weapons charges.

Former Proud Boys extremist group leader Enrique Tarrio and Oath Keepers founder Stewart Rhodes have been released from prison after their lengthy sentences for seditious conspiracy convictions in the Jan.

Rhodes and Tarrio were among the most prominent defendants from January 6 and had received some of the harshest punishments.

At least [in] the cases we looked at, these were people that actually love our country,’ Trump says of January 6 rioters

Rhodes had been convicted in one of the most serious cases prosecuted by the DOJ stemming from the January 6, 2021, riot.

The far-right Oath Keepers extremist group founder serving 18 years for the Capitol riot visited Capitol Hill after President Trump freed him.

President Donald Trump has suggested that far-right militias such as the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers may have a role to play in public life. Trump was asked during a press conference in the Roosevelt Room on Tuesday if there’s room for the leaders of such groups in the political conversation.

Stewart Rhodes, the founder of the Oath Keepers who was convicted of seditious conspiracy in relation to the Jan. 6, 2021, riot, was in the Capitol complex on Wednesday to meet with GOP lawmakers — shortly after getting out of prison because President Trump commuted his sentence.

The move, in effect, validated the far-right leader’s defiant claim that his criminal prosecution was a kind of political persecution.
