NEW YORK — A prominent Long Island funeral home director and frequent donor to GOP causes was arrested Wednesday and charged by federal prosecutors with spraying wasp insecticide at police officers during the Jan. 6 attack at the Capitol.

Peter G. Moloney, who campaign finance records show has given thousands of dollars to GOP campaigns and committees — including Donald Trump, the Republican National Committee and Lee Zeldin, a former congressman and New York gubernatorial candidate — was also charged with assaulting a member of the media. Moloney is slated to make his initial appearance at a federal courthouse on Long Island on Wednesday afternoon.

He is being prosecuted by the U.S. attorney’s office for the District of Columbia. A lawyer for Moloney didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.

According to court documents, Moloney, 58, used Black Flag Wasp, Hornet & Yellow Jacket Killer spray to attack police officers several times while wearing gear to protect himself, including a helmet and protective eyewear.

Moloney also attacked an Associated Press photographer “by grabbing onto his camera and pulling, causing him to stumble down the stairs,” according to court filings. He punched and shoved the photographer away from the Capitol’s West Plaza, and other rioters pushed the photographer over a wall, prosecutors alleged.

1. Good!!!

I'll bet a lot of violent coup participants have tried to convince themselves that they've gotten away with their crimes because they haven't been arrested. But this type of high-profile reckoning is a reminder that they're not yet safe. I hope they're suffering bigly from sleeplessness and anxiety.

9. Only satisfaction is that he probably thought he was in the clear.

Thank you so much to the Sedition Hunters!

"Peter G. Moloney was arrested by the FBI after he was identified by the online network of "Sedition Hunters," who have found hundreds of Capitol rioters since Jan. 6, 2021."

Ungrateful wretch!

15. Another day, another MAGA terrorist.

The right wing assholes like Marjorie Shit For Brains can cry all they want about January 6th prisoners, but they deserve everything they get and then some. They tried to overthrow the government. They tried to murder elected officials. They tried to murder their own vice president. They shouldn't get off with just a slap on the wrist.
