The man in bison clothes who stormed the Capitol asks Trump's forgiveness
WASHINGTON – A man who stormed the Capitol in Washington on January 6 disguised as a bison, wearing a horned hat and without a shirt and temporarily presided over the Senate, has asked that the outgoing president, Donald Trump,
This was announced by Albert Watkins, the attorney for Jacob Albert Chansley
“Given the peaceful and obedient way in which Mr. Chansley behaved, it would be appropriate and honorable for the president to forgive Mr. Chansley and other peaceful people of ideas related ”, affirmed the defender of the subject whose presence in the Capitol went viral in the re social desires and attracted the attention of thousands of people.
According to the Department of Justice, Chansley has been charged with knowingly entering or staying in any building or restricted land without legal authority, and of violent entry and conduct disorderly on the Capitol grounds.
The assault on that compound resulted in five people dead, including a police officer from the Legislative building.
Chansley turned himself in to the authorities and has been in custody since last Saturday.
His lawyer alleged, in statements reproduced by the publication The Hill, that his client “had heard the frequently repeated words of President Trump.”
“It is assumed that the words and invitation of a president mean something, “defended the lawyer.
This Thursday, the director of the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI, in English), Christopher Wray, revealed that more than 100 people have been arrested in connection with the assault on the Capitol, in actions that have been carried out in places such as Phoenix (Arizona), Dallas (Texas) and Honolulu, in the Hawaiian archipelago.
The House of Representatives endorsed this Wednesday the start of a political trial against Trump, the second he has faced since his arrival at the White House, under the accusation of “incitement to insurrection” for the assault on the Capitol.
After that action, security measures have been increased in Washington in view of the inauguration of the Democrat Joe Biden as the new president, a ceremony that Trump anticipated he will not attend.
