Who is Q? HBO's QAnon documentary has an answer

HBO's Q: Into the Storm, a six-part docuseries looking into the QAnon conspiracy theory, comes to an end Sunday night. The finale reveals who series director Cullen Hoback believes to be the mysterious Q.

Hoback has been covering the QAnon movement since 2018. The conspiracy theory started in 2017 and falsely claims that former President Donald Trump was leading a hidden war against satanist pedophiles in Hollywood and the Democratic Party. It was started by an anonymous person who became known as Q, which is a reference to a top-level government security clearance. The hoax gained traction in the US and across the globe, and QAnon followers were on the front line when Trump supporters stormed the US Capitol on Jan. 6.
