Christopher Moynihan, 34—pardoned by Donald Trump for his Jan. 6 conviction—was arrested in New York on a felony count of making terroristic threats after allegedly texting plans to “eliminate” House minority leader Hakeem Jeffries at a New York City event, authorities said. The FBI alerted state police on 18 October; Moynihan was arraigned in Clinton and held on bail options up to $80,000, with a court appearance set for Thursday. Jeffries thanked law enforcement, calling the threat credible. Court records describe his Capitol breach; Jeffries noted he was among those granted clemency amid reports that other recipients reoffended.
