Oath Keepers founder Stewart Rhodes will return to court next week, seeking to avoid a transfer to the Washington D.C. jail in his January 6 seditious conspiracy case. Rhodes' defense attorney said Wednesday he expects to file a formal motion to challenge a U.S. Marshals' transfer of Rhodes to D.C. within the next day or two.
Rhodes, who is being held in a federal prison facility in Oklahoma, is seeking to remain closer to his Texas-based attorneys, even if he is to remain in pretrial detention. Defense attorney Phillip Linder told CBS News he has argued Rhodes would have a more difficult time preparing his legal defense if he is held in jail hundreds of miles from his home area.
Rhodes has been in jail since January 14, when he was one and 10 others were charged with "seditious conspiracy" for their alleged roles in the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, the most serious charges brought to date relating to the riot. A Texas magistrate judge on January 26 ordered he be held in pretrial detention. Rhodes has pleaded not guilty to the charges.
