Arizona’s ‘QAnon Shaman’ Agrees to Plea Deal in Capitol Breach
September 3, 2021 | Arizona, District of Columbia
The so-called “QAnon Shaman” Jacob Chansley has agreed to a plea deal for his role in the Jan. 6 breach of the U.S. Capitol, with a hearing set for Friday morning, according to a court filing.
Chansley will appear before Judge Royce C. Lamberth for a plea agreement hearing, according to a docket entry in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia.
The Arizona man was seen shirtless at the Capitol building on Jan. 6, wearing a distinctive hat with horns. He told a U.S. Capitol Police officer and an FBI agent the following day that he traveled to Washington because Trump called for all “patriots” to go there to protest as Congress met in a joint session.
A criminal complaint alleges Chansley “wilfully and knowingly entered or remained on the floor of a House of Congress or in any cloakroom or lobby adjacent to that floor, without authorization to do so.”.. (Excerpts from the Epoch Times)
