A New York man who received a pardon from President Donald Trump for his role in the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol has been charged with threatening to kill House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries.

Christopher Moynihan, 34, of Clinton, is charged with making a terroristic threat against Jeffries, New York State Police said. He is being held in lieu of a $10,000 cash bail.

Moynihan, in August 2022, pleaded guilty to five misdemeanor counts and was convicted at a stipulated trial of one felony count in connection with his role in the Capitol riot by a mob of Trump supporters.

He was sentenced in February 2023 to 21 months in prison and surrendered the following month. He was released after serving 12 months while he appealed his conviction of the felony count.
