Chanlsey is one of the most memorable figures to emerge from the deadly riot at the Capitol, when former President Donald Trump supporters set siege to the Capitol building as Congress was set to certify Joe Biden’s 2020 electoral win. He was seen standing shirtless behind former Vice President Mike Pence’s Senate dais in a horned, coyote-fur headdress, and red, white and blue face paint, and was also heard yelling and praying as law enforcement tried to clear the chamber.
He was sentenced in November 2021 to more than three years in prison after pleading guilty in September of that year to obstruction of an official proceeding of Congress. He faced a statutory maximum of 20 years in prison on that charge.
U.S. Bureau of Prisons records list Chansley’s current location as RRM Phoenix, a “Residential Reentry Management (RRM) field office.”
The Justice Department says a four-minute segment played by Fox News’ Tucker Carlson omitted the most incriminating aspects of the so-called QAnon Shaman’s time in the Capitol.

Prosecutors on Sunday rejected the notion that newly public footage of Jacob Chansley — known as the QAnon Shaman — accompanied by police in the Capitol undercuts his criminal conduct on Jan. 6, 2021.
In their first response since Fox News’ Tucker Carlson aired the footage — supplied to him by Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) — prosecutors indicated that Carlson aired footage only from a four-minute period toward the end of Chansley’s hourlong trip through the Capitol, omitting the most incriminating aspects of his conduct.
Kevin McCarthy’s corrupt, partisan release of Capitol video exclusively to the Republican Party’s media arm, FOX ‘News’ has bron fruit.
Lets hope this won’t damage America’s Rule of Law.
