A man who was pardoned by President Trump after storming the U.S. Capitol in 2021 has been arrested on a charge that he threatened to kill House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries.

New York State Police say Christopher Moynihan was arrested after they were advised by the FBI that he had made "threats to kill a member of Congress." Court documents show his arrest came after he allegedly texted that he planned to kill Jeffries, the top Democrat in the House.

Moynihan, 34, was arraigned in local court in Clinton, N.Y. He was remanded to the Dutchess County Justice and Transition Center "in lieu of $10,000 cash bail, a $30,000 bond, or an $80,000 partially secured bond." He is scheduled to appear in court on Thursday.

He faces a felony charge of making a terroristic threat.
