WASHINGTON (AP) — A federal jury has weighed seditious conspiracy charges against Oath Keepers founder Stewart Rhodes and four associates for a second day without reaching a verdict in a high-stakes trial stemming from the U.S. Capitol attack. Jurors are expected to resume their deliberations Tuesday. Rhodes and his co-defendants are accused of a weekslong plot to stop the transfer of power from Republican Donald Trump to Democrat Joe Biden. Prosecutors say the plot came to a head on Jan. 6, 2021, when Rhodes’ followers stormed the Capitol alongside hundreds of other angry Trump supporters.
