Moynihan, 34, of Clinton, N.Y., was arrested Sunday and charged with making a terroristic threat; he was arraigned Tuesday and pleaded not guilty. An anonymous tip reported increased narcotic abuse and homicidal ideations. Moynihan was sentenced in 2023 to 21 months for obstruction after entering the Capitol during the Jan. 6 riot; prosecutors said he walked through the Senate chamber and photographed papers while saying there’s gotta be something in here we can f---- use against these ----bags. President Trump issued a blanket pardon to him and many Jan. 6 rioters earlier this year. Lawmakers condemned the threat and debated pardons and political violence.
