Christopher P. Moynihan, previously pardoned by President Trump for his role in the January 6th Capitol attack, was charged with threatening to assassinate House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries.

President Donald Trump announced that U.S. envoys had a meeting with Iranian officials at the UN, while simultaneously threatening to 'annihilate' the Islamic Republic if a deal is not reached soon.
