The committee also subpoenaed Proud Boys leader Henry "Enrique" Tarrio and Oath Keepers President Elmer Stewart Rhodes, along with 1st Amendment Praetorian, another organization involved with the lead-up to Jan. 6. Aaron C. Davis | The Washington Post | Getty ImagesProsecutors have said in court papers that one Capitol riot defendant "discussed coordination with the Proud Boys and the number of Oath Keepers" who planned to be in Washington on Jan. 6. One subpoena notes that an indictment in Washington federal court described a "conspiracy among at least 18 Oath Keepers in which members of the Oath Keepers planned to move together in coordination with regular communication to storm the United States Capitol." Members of the Oath Keepers provide security to Roger Stone at a rally the night before groups attacked the U.S. Capitol, in Washington, January 5, 2021.
