Judge Rejects 'QAnon Shaman's' Latest Attempt to Reverse Guilty Plea for January 6th Capitol Riot

  • Jacob Chansley, known as the "QAnon Shaman," pleaded guilty last year to obstructing Congress' certification of the 2020 election.
  • Chansley filed a motion last week seeking to reverse his guilty plea, but it was swiftly rejected by the judge.
  • The judge stated that Chansley was "the face of the riot" and deserved a potentially harsher sentence.
  • This marks Chansley's latest failed attempt to overturn his conviction after previously seeking to vacate or correct his 41-month prison sentence.
  • Chansley was released early from prison in March 2022 for good behavior and transferred to a halfway house.
