New defendants charged in Oath Keepers conspiracy case


(CNN) The Justice Department has added four new defendants to the federal criminal conspiracy case against Oath Keepers who allegedly prepared for and took part in the US Capitol riot, according to a new indictment made public in DC District Court on Sunday. The newly named Oath Keeper defendants are Joseph Hackett, who went by "Ahab," Jason Dolan, who went by "Turmoil," and William Isaacs, all from Florida. The Oath Keeper defendants are all accused of taking part in the conspiracy as well as entering the restricted grounds of the Capitol. Isaacs, for instance, allegedly yelled, "The fight's not over" once the Oath Keepers group had gotten inside the building, and he waved rioters down the hallway toward the Senate, according to the indictment. In the new charging document, five of the previously named defendants now face additional charges for allegedly deleting their social media or cell phone activity.
