A jury on Wednesday found a Tennessee man guilty of plotting to kill FBI agents who investigated his role in the January 6 Capitol riot. Edward Kelley was convicted of conspiracy to murder federal agents, solicitation to commit a crime of violence, and influencing a federal official by threat. Authorities said Kelley led the assassination plot.
A witness who worked with Kelley testified that the original plan was to attack the FBI Knoxville office with car bombs or incendiary devices strapped to drones before changing plans to target individual agents instead. Kelley is expected to be sentenced on May 7..
