An indictment accuses Donald Trump and his co-conspirators of targeting Pennsylvania and other states in their efforts to overturn 2020 election results.
Stewart Rhodes has been sentenced to 18 years in prison for seditious conspiracy in the Jan 6, 2021, attack on the US Capitol. He was sentenced Thursday after a landmark verdict convicting him of spearheading a weekslong plot to keep former President Donald Trump in power.
The former president is the target of several lawsuits by elected officials and police who accuse him of being directly responsible for the violence perpetrated by his supports when they stormed the Capitol on January 6, 2021.
