A pardoned Capitol rioter was arrested last weekend for allegedly threatening to kill House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries.
Court documents obtained by CBS News said Christopher Moynihan was arrested Sunday after saying in text messages that he planned to "eliminate" Jeffries when the top House Democrat spoke at an event in New York City on Monday.
Jeffries spoke at the Economic Club of New York on Monday.
Moynihan was arraigned Tuesday and entered a plea of not guilty.
According to a court filing by prosecutors in the New York state criminal case, Moynihan wrote, "Hakeem Jeffries makes a speech in a few days in NYC I cannot allow this terrorist to live."
Moynihan also allegedly stated: "Even if I am hated, he must be eliminated, I will kill him for the future," the filing said.
Moynihan faces a felony charge of making a terroristic threat, according to court filings shared by prosecutors.
In a statement on Tuesday, Jeffries noted that Moynihan had been pardoned by Mr. Trump on his first day in office and that "many of the criminals released have committed additional crimes throughout the country." But Jeffries added that "threats of violence will not stop us from showing up, standing up and speaking up for the American people."
