Text message trove shows Oath Keepers discussing security details for Trump associates

Top members of the Oath Keepers now facing seditious conspiracy charges chatted for days about providing security for some of the highest-profile figures associated with Donald Trump’s effort to overturn the election, according to a newly released trove of text messages.

The Oath Keepers also exchanged messages that referenced members of Congress. Rhodes, in particular, asked an associate for the cell number of Rep. Ronny Jackson (R-Texas) who was described by members on the text chain as being in need of security during the attack on the Capitol. Jackson was the White House physician before he was elected to Congress in 2020.

“Dr. Ronnie Jackson — on the move. Needs protection. If anyone inside cover him. He has critical data to protect,” one unidentified person wrote.

“Help with what?” Rhodes replied. “Give him my cell.” (A spokesperson for Jackson didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.)

In a Jan. 3 exchange, Meggs mentioned that unidentified allies mentioned the Oath Keepers “on the call with congressmen” and “wanted to say thank you all for providing and protecting us.”
