The QAnon Shaman, he of the fur, face paint, horns, and bare chest, has offered to speak at former President Donald Trump's impeachment trial next month.

The "shaman," whose real name is Jacob Chansley, told The Associated Press via his lawyer Albert S. Watkins that he would be open to attending the trial and testifying against the president.

Chansley, Watkins said, had been "horrendously smitten" with Trump but now feels "like he was betrayed by the president" after Trump failed to give him and other Capitol rioters pardons.

He is among several Capitol rioters who asked Trump for a presidential pardon but did not receive one in the final days of the administration. Chansley said he had come to the Capitol "at the request of the president that all 'patriots' come to DC on January 6."

Jenna Ryan, a Texas real-estate agent who flew to the capital in a private jet, told the Dallas TV station CBS DFW, "I feel like I was basically following my president. I was following what we were called to do. He asked us to fly there. He asked us to be there."

Trump's impeachment trial is set to begin on February 8.

Michael Sherwin, the US Attorney for the District of Columbia, told the BBC the FBI identified about 400 suspects and arrested 135, several of whom have suggested they believed they were following Trump's orders by taking part in the siege.

Chansley is facing charges including disorderly conduct, violent entry, and illegally being on restricted spaces within the Capitol grounds. He is scheduled to be arraigned on Friday.

Whatley did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
