Another Oath Keeper agrees to cooperate in Capitol riot conspiracy case, admits he brought firearms

A third alleged member of the Oath Keepers has agreed to plead guilty and cooperate with prosecutors investigating the January 6 Capitol riot, according to court documents unsealed Wednesday.

Mark Grods, who prosecutors said brought firearms to D.C. and was part of the tactical "stack" formation that advanced toward the Capitol that day, was expected to enter a guilty plea Wednesday afternoon, and his testimony could confirm many of the government's allegations against the far-right group. If a judge accepts his guilty plea, Grods would become the third Oath Keeper to cut a deal with prosecutors, who describe the group as a large but loosely organized collection of individuals, some of whom are associated with militias. The Oath Keepers are at the center of one of the highest profile conspiracy cases connected to the Capitol riot, with 16 alleged members indicted together in a single conspiracy case.
