JUST IN: Jacob Chansley, the self-proclaimed 'QAnon Shaman,' has been released early from prison following his role in the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.
The"QAnon Shaman" Jacob Chansley, who was sentenced to 41 months in prison for his actions at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, has been released from prison, family tells ABC15.
Earlier this month, federal prosecutors pushed back against claims that a video of Chansley that was shown by Fox News's Tucker Carlson exonerated anyone in the mob at the US Capitol on January 6, 2021. The prosecutors were responding to a request to throw out the case against five members of the Proud Boys for their alleged actions on and around January 6. Defense attorney Roger Roots, who represents Dominic Pezzola, had asked the judge to throw out the case -- citing Carlon's clips of Chansley walking around parts of the Capitol with officers, calling the video"exculpatory."
Addressing the video Carlson played of Chansley walking with officers in the building, prosecutors wrote that,"it is true that a sole officer, who was trying to de-escalate the situation, was with Chansley as he made his way to the Senate floor after initially breaching the Chamber."
