Man pardoned after storming Capitol is charged with threatening to kill Hakeem Jeffries
A man whose convictions for storming the U.S. Capitol were erased by President Donald Trump’s mass pardons has been arrested on a charge he threatened to kill House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries. Police say Christopher Moynihan sent text messages Friday conveying death threats against Jeffries, a New York Democrat. Moynihan is charged with a felony count of making a terroristic threat. It’s unclear if Moynihan has an attorney representing him in the New York case. Jeffries says investigators apprehended “a dangerous individual who made a credible death threat” against him. Moynihan was among hundreds of convicted Capitol rioters who received pardons from Trump on the Republican president’s first day back in the White House.
