The crowd forced its way into the Capitol, breaking windows and doors and eventually taking over the Senate chamber.<p><\/p>\r\nFive people, including a police officer, died in the assault and hundreds were injured.<p><\/p>\r\nChansley can be seen prominently in many of the videos that rioters took of the assault. Bare-chested and tattooed, with his face painted in red and blue, Chansley was wearing animal pelts, including a horned fur headdress, and carrying a bullhorn and a 6-foot spear with the U.S. flag tied to it.<p><\/p>\r\nHe was arrested on January 9 in Arizona during an interview with the Phoenix field office of the FBI \r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.justice.gov\/opa\/page\/file\/1352916\/download\">and indicted<\/a>\r\ntwo days later on two felony counts of civil disorder and obstruction of an official proceeding, as well as four misdemeanors.\r\n<p><\/p><div class=\"mt-1 mb-1\"><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\" data-ad-layout=\"in-article\" data-ad-format=\"fluid\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-8411603009680747\" data-ad-slot=\"6394965691\"><\/ins><script>(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});<\/script><\/div><p><\/p>\r\nAfter a federal magistrate ordered Chansley held pending trial, he was transferred to a detention center in Washington, D.C. But after he complained that the jail could not provide the organic food he is required to eat as part of his shamanistic faith, he was transferred to a jail in Northern Virginia where he is still being held. But that transfer did not come until he had gone a week without eating and had filed an \u201cemergency motion for sustenance or, in the alternative, for pretrial release.\u201d<p><\/p>\r\nChansley later renewed his request for release, arguing that he is not a flight threat and <a href=\/covid19\/>COVID-19<\/a> restrictions make it difficult to consult with his lawyer. The defense also claimed that Chansley&#8217;s faith prevents him from getting a COVID-19 vaccination.<p><\/p>\r\nBut Lamberth called Chansley both a risk to the community and a risk for flight and rejected his request last week in blunt language that said one of the defenses arguments was &#8220;so frivolous as to insult the court&#8217;s intelligence.&#8221;<p><\/p>\r\nChansley claimed that he was peacefully exercising his First Amendment right to protest at the Capitol and that police there escorted him and others into the building.<p><\/p>\r\n\r\nBut Lamberth said the videos released this week show Chansley crowding through a door to the Capitol as other members of the mob were smashing windows just feet away. Other videos show him refusing to follow police orders and leaving a threatening note for former Vice President Mike Pence in the Senate chamber.<p><\/p>\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-pdfemb-pdf-embedder-viewer\"><a href=\"https:\/\/indianz.com\/News\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/23\/04518374756.pdf\" class=\"pdfemb-viewer\" style=\"\" data-width=\"max\" data-height=\"max\" data-toolbar=\"both\" data-toolbar-fixed=\"on\">04518374756<\/a><\/div>\r\n<p><\/p>\r\nLamberth flatly rejected Chansley&#8217;s claim that he is unable to meet with his lawyers, noting that they were present for a lengthy remote video interview with &#8220;60 Minutes+&#8221; &#8211; time that could have been used for lawyer-client discussions, the judge said.<p><\/p>\r\n\u201cThe issue is that when defense counsel is able to speak with his client, he squanders the opportunity for private conversations, preferring instead to conduct an interview with 60 Minutes+, a national news outlet,\u201d Lamberth wrote in his March 8 order.<p><\/p>\r\nThe judge last  week ordered the government to release a <a href=https:\/\/youtu.be\/6eOk9F9RLEg>one-minute \r\nand a   two-minute video<\/a> that he cited in his order.\r\n<p><\/p>\r\n<figure>\r\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1363\" data-attachment-id=\"6634\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/indianz.com\/News\/2021\/01\/15\/trump-supporter-in-coyote-headdress-and-war-paint-indicted-for-role-in-d-c-insurrection\/jakeangeliqanonshaman\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/indianz.com\/News\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/16\/jakeangeliqanonshaman.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"2000,1363\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1604655263&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"jakeangeliqanonshaman\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Jacob Chansley at a November protest outside the Maricopa County elections center in the outfit that later made him the face of the January 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol.
