Justice Department Blocks 'QAnon Shaman's' Request for Seized Jan. 6 Items

Jacob Chansley seeks return of horned helmet and spear, but prosecutors argue items are crucial evidence.

Jacob Chansley, known as the 'QAnon Shaman,' has filed to retrieve his headdress and spear confiscated after the Capitol riot.
The Justice Department insists on retaining the items as evidence in case Chansley challenges his conviction.
A recent Supreme Court ruling on obstruction charges could impact Chansley's case and other Jan. 6 convictions.
Chansley completed his prison sentence but remains under court-supervised release.
Prosecutors may consider civil forfeiture of the items if Chansley does not assure no further legal challenges.
