A QAnon believer who chased a Capitol police officer, and apparently believed he was storming the White House will be sentenced after he was convicted in September.
A jury found Doug Jensen, of Iowa, guilty on seven counts, including felony charges of civil disorder and assaulting, resisting or impeding officers. He was one of the first 10 rioters to enter the Capitol during the insurrection.
Jensen has been in pretrial custody since last year. He had been released in a high-intensity pretrial program, but a judge ordered him detained again after he violated the conditions of his release by livestreaming an event hosted MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell, who has promoted conspiracy theories about the 2020 election.
Loyd wrote that Jensen led the mob inside the Senate wing of the Capitol up to the main entrance to the Senate floor, which he said threatened"the entire United States Senate, the vice president and my personnel." It was there that Goodman, who is credited with protecting members of Congress during the attack, diverted the rioters.
