An attorney for the right-wing Oath Keepers group was arrested and charged on Thursday in connection with the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol, according to federal prosecutors.

Kellye SoRelle, 43, was charged on four counts: conspiracy, obstruction of justice, obstruction of an official proceeding and entering restricted grounds. She was arrested in Junction, Texas.
