(NewsNation) — The man known as the QAnon shaman is suing President Donald Trump for $40 trillion in a lawsuit that also includes Elon Musk, T-Mobile, Warner Bros. and more.
In the 26-page complaint, Jacob Chansley claims he is the “true” American president and accused film directors Christopher Nolan and James Cameron of plagiarizing his writing.
He also accused the National Security Agency of using actress Michele Rodriguez’s likeness to persuade him to use his “shamanic” abilities to deal with “other-worldly matters.”
The spear-carrying rioter’s horned fur hat, bare chest and face paint made him one of the more recognizable figures in the Jan. 6, 2021 assault on the U.S. Capitol.
Chansley pleaded guilty to a felony charge of obstructing an official proceeding in connection with the Capitol insurrection.
He was sentenced to 41 months in prison in November 2021 and served about 27 months before being transferred to a Phoenix halfway house in March 2023. Chansely grew up in the greater Phoenix area.
Chansley was among the hundreds of people sentenced in relation to Capitol riot-related federal crimes. Authorities said Chansley was among the first rioters to enter the Capitol building and he acknowledged using a bullhorn to rouse the mob.
He was later pardoned by Trump.
