Court documents obtained by @cbsnews said pardoned Jan 6 rioter Christopher Moynihan was arrested Sunday after saying in text messages that he planned to "eliminate" Hakeem Jeffries when the top House Democrat spoke at an event in New York City on Monday.

Moynihan also allegedly stated: "Even if I am hated, he must be eliminated, I will kill him for the future."
Moynihan faces a felony charge of making a terroristic threat, according to court filings shared by prosecutors.

Suit: "Patel not only acted unlawfully but deliberately chose to prioritize politicizing the FBI over protecting the American people"
Lawsuit filed by fired acting FBI director Brian Driscoll:
"Patel explained that there was nothing he or Driscoll could do to stop these or any other firings, because 'the FBI tried to put the President in jail and he hasn’t forgotten it.”
