Jacob Angeli-Chansley, the bare-chested body-painted who gained a modicum of infamy as the QAnon Shaman after participating in the Republican-led domestic terrorist attack on Congress three years ago Saturday, wants the Department of Justice to return his trademark horns, evidence that was used in the case leading to his conviction for obstruction, the Daily Beast reports.
Chansley told the Daily Beast that “[t]hey’re keeping it like it’s evidence. The case is over, so there’s no reason for them to continue holding onto it.” However, as recently as July, Chansley has sought to get his guilty plea thrown out, and he sought a pardon from Trump in the days after the attack saying Trump invited him and others.
Released from prison last March after serving 27 months of a 41-month sentence, Chansley is on probation until 2026 so he is unable to vote in Arizona until he at least fulfills that part of his sentence, but last November he registered with the state as a Libertarian candidate for Congress in the 8th Congressional District, currently held by Republican Debbie Lesko, who is not seeking re-election.
