The 'Shaman's' Statement (Feat. Al Watkins)

One of the most visible participants in the U.S. Capitol siege, Jacob Chansley became known throughout the world as the "QAnon Shaman" as photographs of him standing behind then-Vice President Mike Pence's dais in face paint, wearing a fur-pelted-and-horned headdress and carrying a spear hit the wires. Telling reporters that his client is willing to testify at Donald Trump's impeachment trial, Chansley's attorney Albert Watkins answers hard questions: Is his client's claim that he was only following the president's orders the Nuremberg defense? Will Chansley renounce the QAnon conspiracy theory that galvanized the insurrection? And was Chansley just Trump's dupe—or what prosecutors call a leader of a dangerous movement?
