BREAKING: New Bodycam Footage Emerges Of Jacob Chansley Inside The Senate Chamber
Newly released video footage captured by body-worn police cameras has shown a new perspective of the clearing of the Senate chamber from January 6th.
The footage was presented as evidence during Jacob Chansley’s sentencing and was finally made public today. The footage shows Chansley, “the QAnan Shaman,” peacefully exiting the premises, contrary to popular belief.
You can hear Chansley thank the police officers, saying, “God bless you guys. Thank you for your patience, we really appreciate it.”
Chansley was sentenced to 41 months in prison on November 17, 2021. He pleaded guilty to obstructing an official proceeding, which is a felony offense. In addition to his prison sentence, Chansley was ordered to pay restitution to the government for damages incurred during the riot.
