Oath Keepers leader Stewart Rhodes has been meeting with the House select committee investigating January 6 for several hours and is answering some questions, according to one of his attorneys.
"Stewart Rhodes is both answering many questions and taking the Fifth Amendment to other questions," attorney Jonathon Moseley said in an email to CNN."In order to cover as much ground as possible, the questioning has focused first on topics where there are no objections."Attorneys representing Rhodes in the hearing are objecting to questions the committee wants to ask about events after Election Day 2020, because his criminal trial is pending, Moseley said.
