20/1/2022 19:53

        A member of the far-right Oath Keepers group charged with seditious conspiracy over allegations he helped plan the deadly Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol will ask a judge on Thursday to release him while he awaits trial.
        
        Edward Vallejo is one of 11 people prosecutors have linked to the Oath Keepers and accused of seditious conspiracy, a relatively rare charge. Vallejo is scheduled to appear before an Arizona judge at 2:45 p.m. Mountain Standard Time (1945 GMT) for a detention hearing.
        
        Prosecutors say Vallejo is dangerous and want him behind bars while his case unfolds.
