Smoke fills the walkway outside the Senate chamber as supporters of President Donald Trump, including Doug Jensen, center, are confronted by Capitol Police officers on Jan. 6, 2021.how he came to believe conspiracy theories about the election and a variety of other topics, even asking special agents whether the Washington Monument was"supposed to be a giant penis." Jensen said that he was"the conspiracy nut at work" and that he regularly checked QAnon forums.
In opening arguments Tuesday, Jensen's defense attorney, Christopher Davis, argued that evidence in the case will demonstrate that his client genuinely believed in QAnon, that “the storm” had arrived on Jan. 6 and that law enforcement would arrest corrupt politicians. He told jurors to expect to see video of Jensen telling officers to do their job throughout the trial.
“He’s not terribly sophisticated,” Davis added, saying his client went down a rabbit hole when he got sucked into online conspiracy theories. He also said Jensen regularly carries a pocketknife, which he did both at the Capitol on Jan. 6 and when he spoke with the FBI, because he is a construction worker.
