SoRelle, who confirmed earlier this year to CBS News that she acted as president of the Oath Keepers after the arrest of founder Stewart Rhodes, was arrested Thursday morning after a U.S. attorney signed issued an indictment against her Wednesday. 

The New York Times was first to report on the indictment.

According to the indictment, between December 2020 and January 2021, SoRelle attempted to "corruptly obstruct, influence, and impede" Congress from certifying the 2020 election and "did aid and abet others known and unknown to the Grand Jury to do the same." SoRelle, according to the charging documents, planned to impede the peaceful transfer of power.
