""Hakeem Jeffries makes a speech in a few days in NYC I cannot allow this terrorist to live," Moynihan is alleged to have said in one message."
""Even if I am hated, he must be eliminated, I will kill him for the future," Moynihan also said."
""terrorists,""
Christopher Moynihan, a participant in the January 6, 2021 attack who received a full pardon from President Trump, was arrested on charges of making terroristic threats against House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries. Prosecutors say Moynihan sent text messages that constitute a clear murder threat, including direct statements about killing Jeffries. The FBI alerted the New York State Police Bureau of Criminal Investigation about the texts on October 18, though the timing of the messages is unclear. Moynihan was among over 1,500 individuals pardoned earlier in the year. White House press accounts have labeled some protesters and Democrats as "terrorists," while rhetoric and pardons intersect with concerns about political violence.
