The Justice Department in a new court filing have revealed even more details behind the Oath Keepers' alleged plotting in advance of the Jan. 6 insurrection.
On Jan. 6, 2021, pro-Trump rioters broke into the U.S. Capitol. The attack resulted in deaths, injuries, more than 700 arrests and former President Donald Trump's second impeachment.In an effort to keep a newly-arrested member of the Oath Keepers militia group charged in last week's seditious conspiracy indictment behind bars -- the Justice Department in a new court filing Wednesday revealed even more details behind the group's alleged plotting in advance of the Jan. 6 insurrection.
He was arrested last week along with the Oath Keepers leader Stewart Rhodes on charges of seditious conspiracy among other federal felony charges, in the most serious indictment brought by the Justice Department thus far out of the Capitol attack. The filing Wednesday by the U.S. Attorney for D.C. includes new photos showing Vallejo carting what prosecutors say are weapons, ammunition and essential supplies to last 30 days into the QRF hotel in Virginia.
On a podcast the morning of the riot, when asked by another QRF member why they were there, Vallejo allegedly answered they"have a little bit of inside information with the powers that would oppose the powers that be." Vallejo then responded,"Leaving?!? I ain’t goin nowhere" and later added, “we will monitor all night and transport anyone that meets us on the perimeter curfew be damned," the filing said.Alleged members of the Oath Keepers militia group are seen in security camera footage from a Virginia hotel with what prosecutors describe as a cache of weapons, in photographs included in the Department of Justice court filings regarding the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol.
When asked on the podcast if he was returning to Arizona, prosecutors say Vallejo"remained ready to act" explaining, “I don’t know. We’ve got to figure out what happens on the 20th.” Ultimately, Vallejo noted, “I’m never done … I’m waiting for orders from Stewart Rhodes," according to prosecutors.
