A member of the Oath Keepers right-wing extremist gang pleaded guilty to conspiracy charges stemming from his involvement in the Capitol riot.

Graydon Young, 54, of Florida, pleaded guilty on Wednesday to conspiracy charges brought against him and 16 other members of the Oath Keepers, who prosecutors claim plotted to carry out violence on 6 January.

Mr Young pleaded guilty to two counts against him, conspiracy and obstruction of an official proceeding, both of which are felonies.
