WASHINGTON — The Arizona man known as the “QAnon Shaman” said Wednesday he believes President Donald Trump’s new Anti-Weaponization Fund is an abuse of power by a would-be “king.”
Jacob Angeli-Chansley — one of the faces of the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot with his red, white and blue face paint and horned fur headdress — denounced the $1.776 billion program as a “slush fund” for Trump to reward his loyalists.
The Justice Department announced the fund on Monday as part of a settlement with Trump, who had sued the IRS for $10 billion over the leak of his tax returns. The settlement included an assurance that the IRS will drop all audits and claims for back taxes against Trump, his family and businesses.
