Trumpâs Jan. 6 Pardoned Assassin-In-Waiting Strikes Again
Christopher Moynihan, a 34-year-old Clinton, N.Y. resident and certified Capitol stormer, went from snapping reckless Senate selfies in January 2023âdeclaring senators âbaggedââto plotting to assassinate House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries in October 2025. Despite Trumpâs blanket pardon on day one of his sophomore term (yes, a second Trump presidency apparently exists), Moynihanâs narcotic-fueled homicidal ideations elevated FBI alerts and a terroristic threat charge. Jeffries, understandably not thrilled, hammered the Trump pardon as a nationwide crime-enhancer while Speaker Mike Johnson âfirst heard about itâ at a press breakfast and somehow blamed more violence on the left. Capitol Police report 14,000 threats looming in 2025âno really, welcome to the threat Olympics.
