Former United States National Security advisor [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Flynn Michael Flynn] and his lawyer, [https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sidney_Powell Sidney Powell], became avid QAnon espousers until their Twitter accounts were banned. Even though he doesn’t fully know about QAnon, Donald Trump himself has also voiced support for the hate group, claiming that “they are very strongly against pedophilia and I agree with that". He occasionally retweeted several QAnon-affiliated accounts until his suspension. However, he explicitly endorsed them in September 2022 by reposting a photoshop of himself wearing a Q pin on his Truth Social site.
