Judge denies pre-trial release for QAnon shaman Jacob Chansley after 60 Minutes interview backfires
A federal judge on Monday refused to release self-styled "QAnon shaman" Jacob Chansley prior to the trial for his role in a violent insurrection at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6.
In his 32-page ruling, U.S. District Judge Royce C. Lamberth pointed to a recent 60 Minutes interview with Chansley as evidence that the defendant does not understand the severity of his actions. In the interview, Chansley claimed that his actions had been peaceful and that he had prevented other rioters from stealing muffins.
