Days after the attorney for Jacob Chansley, also known as the “QAnon Shaman,” questioned his own client’s mental health, the federal judge overseeing his trial has reportedly ordered him to undergo a mental health evaluation.
“Court has just ordered psychiatric examination of Jan 6 US Capitol riot defendant Jacob Chansley…. also known as the ‘Q-Anon Shaman.’ This case now faces delays. Chansley remains in jail, pending trial,” NBC’s Scott MacFarlane tweeted this Friday.
POLITICO’s Kyle Cheney shared a court document showing the judge found “reasonable cause” to question his mental competency.
