Six far-right militia members who guarded Trump ally Roger Stone 'entered US Capitol during riots'

At least six people seen providing security to Roger Stone, an ally of the former president Donald Trump, later breached the Capitol during the 6 January insurrection, according to US media reports.

Mr Stone was in Washington DC on both the 5 and 6 January and made several public appearances – near the Supreme Court and later by the White House – where he was seen with five individuals providing him security. A sixth individual was seen driving him around in a golf cart that afternoon.

According to reports by CNN and the New York Times, the six men are associated with the far-right militia group the Oath Keepers, described by the Anti-Defamation League as one of the largest organisations of “anti-government extremists” in the US.

Video footage reviewed by the NYT reportedly shows all six of the men who accompanied Mr Stone inside the Capitol building after it was breached by rioters on 6 January, with some of them meeting other Oath Keepers who have since been charged. None of the six men have themselves been charged.

Perv boy Stone thought he was invincible after Trump's pardon. He may not be so lucky after this go around.

He's bragged about this violent group protecting him, part of making threats to others, and I think I recall that they'd made him a member. I suspect displaying himself with them during this major event was more of his pathological attention seeking. Whatever the relationship, it's in his FBI file.
