Pardoned Jan. 6 defendant Cleveland Meredith arrested on new federal charges for threatening judges

He faces new federal charges for allegedly threatening the judges who presided over Jan. 6 cases. He is among several pardoned Jan. 6 defendants to face new charges after Trump's mass pardon of more than 1,000 people.
