FBI Special Agent Byron Cody will resume testifying about evidence the government gathered for the case, including a series of inflammatory texts, speeches and online posts by Oath Keepers founder Stewart Rhodes.and told followers that they needed to take matters into their own hands if former President Donald Trump failed to invoke the Insurrection Act, a 19th century U.S. law that empowers presidents to deploy troops to quell civil unrest.
In addition, prosecutors have said the Oath Keepers organized a "quick reaction force" of armed members who were kept on standby across the Potomac River in Virginia in case they were called upon to bring firearms into Washington. According to court filings, Hancock interviewed Edward Vallejo, an Oath Keeper and alleged co-conspirator who goes on trial in November and who is accused of helping coordinate the quick reaction force that was staged in Virginia.
