Jan 21, 2025, 03:33 PM
Jacob Chansley, known as the 'QAnon Shaman,' has been pardoned by President Donald Trump as part of a mass pardon of approximately 1,500 individuals charged in connection with the January 6, 2021, U.S. Capitol riot. Chansley, who gained notoriety for his distinctive attire during the riot, announced his plans to celebrate the pardon by purchasing guns. The pardon was one of several executive actions taken by Trump on the day he was sworn into office, signaling a broad approach to clemency for those involved in the January 6 events. Chansley had previously served part of a 41-month sentence for obstructing an official proceeding before his release in May 2023.
