Defendant, who prosecutors say stormed Capitol in a QAnon shirt, says he 'fell victim' to conspiracies and was fed 'a pack of lies' by Trump

Douglas Jensen, an Iowa man who was indicted on several federal charges related to the January 6 insurrection, is seeking a release from custody ahead of his arraignment hearing, arguing that he "fell victim" to conspiracy theories.

The new request for release was issued ahead of Jensen's arraignment at a DC federal court on Tuesday. His attorney claimed that Jensen has been "languishing" in a DC jail for six months. He was arrested five months ago.

Prosecutors say that in several viral videos, Jensen can be seen in front of Capitol Police Officer Eugene Goodman, as well as other officers, amid one of the first waves of rioters to break into the Capitol. He's pictured sporting a T-shirt with a QAnon logo with an eagle in the center, accompanied by the group's slogan.
