NEW: Oath Keeper Graydon Young has pleaded guilty to two counts under a plea agreement that requires cooperation with the government. huffpost.com/entry/oath-kee…

Young was initially detained pretrial, which his lawyer said took an "extremely high toll on his mental well-being.” He was later released on GPS monitoring based on an appeals court ruling. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…
