Oath Keeper pleads guilty to seditious conspiracy over Capitol attack

Brian Ulrich is the second person to plead guilty to the charge and could face up to six years in prison

A member of the far-right Oath Keepers militia on Friday became the second participant in the 6 January 2021 Capitol insurrection to plead guilty to seditious conspiracy for his actions in advance of that day.

Brian Ulrich, 44, of Guyton, Georgia, faces five to six years in prison after pleading guilty in federal district court in Washington DC, according to sentencing guidelines. He also pleaded guilty to obstructing an official proceeding, which in this case was the hours-long delay in the certification of Joe Biden's victory in the presidential election over Donald Trump.
