Washington Post: “A federal judge chided the self-identified ‘QAnon Shaman,’ who was part of the Jan. 6 Capitol riots, for appearing in a ’60 Minutes Plus’ interview without permission. During a detention hearing Friday, U.S. Judge Royce C. Lamberth questioned whether Jacob Chansley appeared in the interview that aired Thursday without the required clearance from the U.S. Marshals Service, the detention facility or the judge. The judge also questioned whether Chansley’s attorney, Albert Watkins, was deceitful in skirting proper authorization to appear on the show.”
“In what was billed as Chansley’s first interview since his arrest, he said that his actions were ‘not an attack on this country’ and that he does not regret being loyal to former president Donald Trump. Chansley became one of the most distinct individuals arrested in the riot, photographed flexing near the vice president’s chair in the Senate while shirtless and wearing a headdress and face paint. Watkins said he did make ‘independent arrangements’ with ’60 Minutes Plus’ but denied conducting ‘subterfuge.’ He said he assumed his client would be allowed to be captured on camera from his office. A decision about Chansley’s detention is still pending.”
