Attorney for far-right Oath Keepers extremist group pleads guilty to Capitol riot charges

An attorney who represented the far-right Oath Keepers extremist group has pleaded guilty to charges stemming from a mob’s Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol. Kellye SoRelle is scheduled to be sentenced on Jan. 17 by U.S. District Judge Amit Mehta in Washington, D.C. SoRelle answered routine questions by the judge as she pleaded guilty on Wednesday to obstructing justice and trespassing. Her estimated sentencing guidelines recommend a maximum of 16 months behind bars. SoRelle was arrested in Junction, Texas, in September 2022. Her case remained suspended for months amid questions about her mental health.
