As the Capitol was still under the control of the rioters, Stewart Rhodes and other members of the right-wing extremist group Oath Keepers gathered in a hotel room and placed a call to someone close to Trump. William Wilson was among the group and described the call to investigators as part of a plea agreement on a seditious conspiracy charge.
The statement of offense describes what happened.
“At approximately 5:00 p.m., Wilson, Rhodes, and others left the Capitol grounds and walked together to the Phoenix Hotel. … At the Phoenix Hotel, Rhodes gathered Wilson and other co-conspirators inside of a private suite. Rhodes then called an individual over speaker phone. Wilson heard Rhodes repeatedly implore the individual to tell President Trump to call upon groups like the Oath Keepers to forcibly oppose the transfer of power. This individual denied Rhodes’s request to speak directly with President Trump.”
