Jan. 6 Rioter Pardoned by Trump Arrested for Allegedly Threatening to Kill Rep. Hakeem Jeffries

A January 6 rioter, who was pardoned by President Trump, has been arrested for allegedly threatening to assassinate House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries. Christopher Moynihan reportedly sent texts to an unidentified recipient, including “Hakeem Jeffries makes a speech in a few days in NYC I cannot allow this terrorist to live” and “I will kill him for the future.” Moynihan is among the 1,500 people who participated in the January 6 riots who were later granted clemency by Trump when he returned to office.

FEMA Suspends Staff for Signing Letter Criticizing Trump Administration

FEMA is suspending staff members who signed a letter criticizing the Trump administration for gutting the agency’s ability to handle natural disasters. The letter came just days before the 20th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, one of the deadliest and costliest hurricanes in U.S. history. At least 36 employees have signed their full names to the letter, titled the “Katrina Declaration,” and about 150 others have signed the letter anonymously. On Tuesday, FEMA told the staffers that they were put on administrative leave in a “non-duty status while continuing to receive pay and benefits.”
