A New York man previously convicted for his role in the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol has been arrested for allegedly threatening to kill House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, according to authorities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Christopher Moynihan, 34, of Clinton, New York, was charged with making a terroristic threat, a felony, the New York State Police said in a statement<\/a>. He was taken into custody on Sunday after the FBI\u2019s Joint Terrorism Task Force notified state police that he had made threats to assassinate a member of Congress. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moynihan was arraigned and ordered held at the Dutchess County Justice and Transition Center on $10,000 bail or bond alternatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Court documents obtained by CBS News<\/a> allege that Moynihan sent text messages saying he planned to \u201celiminate\u201d Jeffries ahead of a Monday speaking event at the Economic Club of New York. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHakeem Jeffries makes a speech in a few days in NYC I cannot allow this terrorist to live,\u201d one message read, according to the filing. Another stated: \u201cEven if I am hated, he must be eliminated, I will kill him for the future.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moynihan was convicted in 2022 of obstructing an official proceeding and other charges related to the January 6 attack and sentenced to 21 months in prison the following year. He was pardoned by President Donald Trump as part of a mass clemency order that released more than 1,500 Capitol riot defendants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a statement<\/a> Tuesday, Jeffries thanked law enforcement \u201cfor their swift and decisive action to apprehend a dangerous individual who made a credible death threat against me with every intention to carry it out.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jeffries said the suspect \u201cwas pardoned by Donald Trump on the President\u2019s very first day in office\u201d and criticized the blanket pardon for allowing violent offenders to reoffend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moynihan is scheduled to appear in court on Thursday. The FBI and New York State Police said the investigation is ongoing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
