Joshua James also pleaded guilty to obstruction of an official proceeding and agreed to cooperate with the Justice Department’s investigation into a group of Oath Keepers it alleged plan to stop the certification of the 2020 Electoral College vote. The development is a major step forward for prosecutors who brought the ambitious case, with some of the most serious charges in the January 6 investigation. Other Capitol riot defendants with ties to the Oath Keepers who did not face sedition charges have already agreed to cooperate.
