Cleveland Meredith, a man pardoned by President Donald Trump after being charged in connection with the January 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol, was arrested for allegedly threatening federal judges. Meredith, who had previously been sentenced to over two years in prison for interstate communication of threats, was pardoned by Trump in 2025. He was arrested again for a Facebook post in April 2025, in which he threatened to execute all federal judges involved in the January 6 cases. The FBI had been monitoring Meredith since 2024 due to his threatening social media posts. He was arrested at a hotel in Washington, D.C., on October 29, 2025, and charged with one count of interstate threats. Meredith had been threatening and harassing people and institutions online for at least 16 months, according to court documents. He had previously sent a text message to a relative on January 7, 2021, in which he said he intended to 'put a bullet' in the head of then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
