A week after a judge deemed Kellye SoRelle mentally competent to stand trial, the former Oath Keepers attorney and onetime girlfriend to convicted seditionist and Oath Keepers leader Elmer Stewart Rhodes has pleaded guilty to conspiring to obstruct the certification of the 2020 election.
According to an unopposed motion requesting that the U.S. Marshals Service to pay for her round-trip expenses between her residence in Austin, Texas, to the federal courthouse in Washington, D.C., SoRelle, 44, will formally enter her guilty plea this month.
Court records described her as “indigent” and neither prosecutors nor the judge were opposed to U.S. marshals assisting SoRelle financially so she could make her court appearance.
The Washington Post reports:
A volunteer for Lawyers for Trump, SoRelle became Oath Keepers leader Stewart Rhodes’s girlfriend and a key post-2020 election contact with pro-Trump, GOP and “Stop the Steal” groups.
Rhodes was sentenced to 18 years in prison for leading the group that stashed weapons outside Washington and whose members forced entry into the Capitol while wearing military-style gear, hoping that then-President Donald Trump would call on militia groups to take up arms to keep him in office.
a four-count indictment said she joined Rhodes outside the Capitol that day in a shared plan to intimidate and thwart lawmakers’ work. The indictment accused her of conspiracy, obstruction of an official proceeding, tampering with evidence by directing co-conspirators to erase their phones, and misdemeanor trespassing in a restricted building or grounds.
