Judge orders psychological exam for 'QAnon Shaman'
A Washington, D.C., federal judge has ordered Jacob Chansley, the Jan. 6 Capitol rioter known as the "QAnon Shaman," to undergo a psychological evaluation.
In an order on Friday, Judge Royce Lamberth said there is "reasonable cause to believe that a competency exam" for Chansley is warranted.
Chansley will be transported to a designated facility for the examination. He will stay there for no longer than 30 days.
The examination will determine whether he is "presently suffering from a mental disease or defect rendering him mentally incompetent to the extent that he is unable to understand the nature and consequences of the proceedings against him or to assist properly in his defense."
