He is scheduled to be arraigned Friday in Washington.On January 6, he was seen sitting in the Senate chamber seat of Vice President Mike Pence after rioters stormed the Capitol while lawmakers were certifying the electoral college votes that made Joe Biden president.Authorities said Chansley left a note that read, “It’s only a matter of time, justice is coming.”Chansley, who calls himself the “QAnon Shaman” and has long been a fixture at Trump rallies, told investigators he came to the Capitol “at the request of the president that all ‘patriots’ come to D.C. on January 6,” according to court records.Moments before the Capitol building assault, Trump encouraged his supporters to “fight like hell.”Trump’s impeachment trial, his second, is scheduled to begin Feb. 8.
