A fourth person linked to the Oath Keepers militia group pleaded guilty on Tuesday to two criminal charges related to his participation in the Jan. 6 assault on the U.S. Capitol by Donald Trump supporters.
Caleb Berry, 20, who prosecutors said was in communication with a Florida-based Oath Keepers group, is the fourth person affiliated with the militia to plead guilty to riot charges and the 19th to plead guilty to federal riot-related charges.
Prosecutors said in court papers that Berry was cooperating with investigators. Other defendants linked to the Oath Keepers who entered guilty pleas to riot-related charges also are cooperating with investigators, records showed. At the Capitol, Berry joined other suspected members of the militia who "maneuvered in an organized fashion" up the steps on the building's east side, with "each member keeping at least one hand on the shoulder of the other in front of them," prosecutors said.
Also on Tuesday, federal Magistrate G. Michael Harvey ordered pre-trial detention for accused rioter Robert Morss, a former U.S. Army Ranger from Pennsylvania. Harvey said Morss helped to organize a "shield wall" that rioters used to move against Capitol guards assembled from equipment taken from police.

Man faces 1st sentencing for felony in riot at US CapitolA Florida man who breached the U.S. Senate chamber carrying a Trump campaign flag is scheduled to become the first Jan. 6 rioter sentenced for a felony, in a hearing that will help set a benchmark for punishment in similar cases. Prosecutors want Paul Allard Hodgkins to serve 18 months behind bars, saying in a recent filing that he, “like each rioter, contributed to the collective threat to democracy” by forcing lawmakers to temporarily abandon their certification of Joe Biden’s election victory and to scramble for shelter from incoming mobs. Hodgkins and others are accused of serious crimes but were not indicted, as other were, for roles in larger conspiracies.
