Clayton lawyer hints 'Qanon Shaman' may cooperate in Capitol riot investigation

 

Albert Watkins, the Clayton lawyer representing a high-profile member of the accused U.S. Capitol insurrectionists, hinted in a hearing Friday that his client may cooperate with federal prosecutors.

Watkins sought the hearing in an attempt to free from jail before trial Jacob A. Chansley, the horns- and fur-wearing conspiracy theory adherent prominent in many photos and videos from the Jan. 6 riot. Both in court and in court documents, Watkins has said former President Donald Trump encouraged rioters to go into the Capitol. He also said a peaceful Chansley was not in the first two waves that stormed the building, and instead was invited by police.

Chansley, often called the โ€œQAnon Shaman,โ€ has pleaded not guilty to two felony and four misdemeanor charges stemming from his involvement in the Jan. 6 Capitol breach.
