'QAnon Shaman' turns against Donald Trump and says he will run for Arizona governor
Jacob Chansley blames Trump’s refusal to release Epstein files and policy decisions for his disavowal and plans to run for Arizona governor as an independent this November.
- Monday, Jacob Chansley told CNN he no longer supports President Donald Trump due to Epstein file refusal and said he will run for governor of Arizona as an independent this year.
- Following his conviction, Jacob Chansley served 27 months of a 41-month sentence, was pardoned by President Donald Trump on January 20 last year, and disavowed Trump over Epstein files, planning to run for Arizona governor.
- By midyear he had posted that Israel and Jeffrey Epstein were blackmailing President Donald Trump, signalling frustration that predates recent interviews and reflecting wider QAnon defections.
- The fallout has prompted a credibility problem among far-right influencers as President Donald Trump's refusal to release the Jeffrey Epstein client list fuels anger and fellow J-Sixers pursue political office.
- Beyond politics Jacob Chansley has filed a $40 trillion lawsuit, proposed a $38 trillion coin, disavowed QAnon, cited mental-health struggles, and plans a self-published book, Shamanic Apocalypse this year.
