Oath Keepers Convictions Vacated | Washington DC News

The Justice Department has officially dropped all criminal charges against Oath Keepers founder Stewart Rhodes and eight others, closing one of the most high-profile prosecutions tied to the January 6 Capitol riot — a move that ends their convictions despite prior prison commutations by former President Trump. While the judge acknowledged the decision weakens accountability for the attack, he upheld the government’s legal right to vacate the cases. This marks a significant shift in federal prosecution strategy, echoing similar moves against Proud Boys leaders, signaling a broader retreat from pursuing these specific charges — even as the gravity of the events remains unchallenged by law.
