Christopher Moynihan, a participant in the January 6 Capitol riot who was pardoned by former United States president Donald Trump, has pleaded guilty to a harassment charge after threatening to kill House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries. Moynihan sent alarming text messages ahead of Jeffries' scheduled appearance in New York City, prompting legal action and a guilty plea in Clinton, New York. Prosecutors emphasized that threats against elected officials undermine public safety and democracy. Moynihan, previously sentenced for his role in the Capitol attack, will face sentencing for the harassment charge in April. The case highlights ongoing legal consequences for individuals involved in the events of January 6, with some pardoned rioters facing new charges.
