One of the U.S. Capitol rioters who went viral for his horned, face-painted costume was arrested recently for his insurrection role. Since then, the rioter made news for reportedly not wanting to eat jail food due to his “organic diet” and the lack of organic food available. Now, news surfaced that the man named Jacob Chansley has hired a high-powered attorney—Albert Watkins, and is looking to get pardoned by Trump.
Watkins recently made an appearance on CNN to talk about the matter involving his client. While speaking to Chris Cuomo, Watkins said that Trump “has an obligation” to give out pardons after his words led supporters to take to the capitol.
Chansley, who many are calling the ‘QAnon shaman’ based on his outfit worn during the riot, reportedly “felt like he was answering the call of our president,” according to his lawyer. Watkins also said that Chansley was at the U.S. Capitol “at the invitation of our president, who was going to walk down Pennsylvania Avenue with him.”
