A January 6 rioter, who was pardoned by President Trump, has been arrested for allegedly threatening to assassinate House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries. Christopher Moynihan reportedly sent texts to an unidentified recipient, including “Hakeem Jeffries makes a speech in a few days in NYC I cannot allow this terrorist to live” and “I will kill him for the future.” Moynihan is among the 1,500 people who participated in the January 6 riots who were later granted clemency by Trump when he returned to office.
