The attorney who represented Jacob Chansley, the infamous “QAnon Shaman” who left a threatening note on then-Vice President Mike Pence’s desk after breaking into the Senate chamber during the January 6 riot, is now claiming his former client’s rights were violated because he never saw surveillance footage Fox News host Tucker Carlson was given access to by House Speaker Kevin McCarthy.
Defence lawyer Albert Watkins on Wednesday appeared on Carlson’s show to accuse the government of withholding evidence because his client was never provided the footage of Chansley, in his bizarre horned getup, seemingly walking peacefully near several members of US Capitol Police inside the Capitol complex.
