Kelly Meggs (born January 15, 1969) is an American convicted felon who previously led the Oath Keepers' Florida chapter.[1] He was found guilty of seditious conspiracy following his forced entry into the United States Capitol during the January 6 United States Capitol attack.[2] Meggs was sentenced to 12 years in prison.[3] Hours after his inauguration on 20 January 2025, Donald Trump commuted his sentence to time served.[4] On January 24, 2025, he and seven others Oath Keepers were forbidden by the D.C. District Court from entering Washington D.C or the grounds of the Capitol without the permission of the court order. [5][6]
