A member of the far-right Oath Keepers charged with rioting at the U.S. Capitol met with Secret Service agents before the siege and received a VIP pass to the rally where then-President Donald Trump spoke, according to a court filing. A defense attorney for Jessica Watkins said in Saturday’s filing that the Oath Keeper was in Washington, D.C. to “provide security” for the speakers at the Jan.6 rally, where she stood within 50 feet of the stage.
