Militia man pleads guilty

Washington: A member of the farright Oath Keepers militia yesterday admitted to engaging in seditious conspiracy during last year’s attack on the US Capitol, the latest in a string of courtroom wins for the Justice Department.

William Todd Wilson, of North Carolina, pleaded guilty during a federal court hearing in Washington. He was the third Oath Keepers defendant to plead guilty to seditious conspiracy and obstruction charges.

Several other defendants are still on track for a trial later this year, including Stewart Rhodes, the founder of the
