'Qanon Shaman' Demands FBI Return Horns He Wore During Riot [View all]

The “QAnon Shaman” has done his time and now wants the government to return the horned fur headdress that made him the most recognizable figure of the Jan. 6 insurrection.

“They’re keeping it like it’s evidence,” Jacob Chansley told The Daily Beast. “The case is over, so there’s no reason for them to continue holding onto it.”

He is taking the position that the law is the law, the very same principle that led the government to prosecute him along with more than 1,000 other insurrectionists and has Donald Trump facing four indictments.

“It’s rather upsetting that they’re not doing what the government is supposed to do and returning the property,” said Chansley, who has been convicted of obstructing democracy itself.
