Summary

Leaked documents reveal that 2023 leadership meetings of the far-right Oath Keepers in Utah were attended by former law enforcement officers, a prosecutor, and a former elected official.

Despite founder Stewart Rhodes's conviction for his role in January 6, later commuted by Donald Trump, efforts to rebuild the group have continued.

Participants discussed combat training and leadership roles, highlighting ties to law enforcement and conservative politics.

Experts warn that anti-government extremism persists through other movements and networks.
