A New York man pardoned by President Donald Trump for his crimes during the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol was arrested over the weekend and accused of threatening to kill House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries.
Christopher Moynihan, 34, had said on Friday that “in a few days, he would kill Congressman Jeffries in New York City for ‘the future,’” according to court records. He was charged with one felony count of making a terroristic threat.
Moynihan was a part of a group of insurrectionists who were caught on video rifling through senators’ desks, with him saying, “There’s got to be something we can use against these fucking scumbags.” He was then photographed alongside “QAnon Shaman” Jacob Chansley while standing on the Senate dais.
