Former President Trump pardoned Jacob Chansley, the "QAnon Shaman," among others involved in the 2021 Capitol riot.

Jacob Chansley, known as the "QAnon Shaman" for his role in the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot, received a pardon from former President Donald Trump. Chansley, who served a 41-month sentence, celebrated his release by announcing plans to purchase firearms. Trump pardoned Chansley and about 1,500 others involved in the riot, a move criticized by Democrats who view it as endorsing political violence.
