The man known as the QAnon Shaman has reached a plea deal with federal prosecutors after spending several months behind bars following his arrest for his conduct on Jan. 6, and no longer wants to be associated with the QAnon movement, his lawyer said Thursday.

Jacob Chansley, who entered the Capitol building and the chamber of the Senate during the Jan. 6 attack, has a plea hearing scheduled for Friday.

When HuffPost reached out to Chansleys lawyer for details on the deal, Albert Watkins said it would be inappropriate to comment on the details of the arrangement at this time. But he sent along a press release stating that Chansley REPUDIATES THE Q MONIKER and no longer wanted to be associated with Q.
