Federal Judge Overseeing Trump D.C. Criminal Case Threatened
Federal Judge Overseeing Trump D.C. Criminal Case ThreatenedA Texas woman has been charged with threatening the federal judge overseeing the criminal case in Washington that accuses former President Donald Trump of conspiring to overturn the 2020 election results.
Abigail Jo Shry allegedly called the chambers of Judge Tanya Chutkan on the US District Court of the District of Columbia and left a message Aug. 5 threatening to kill anyone who goes after the former president, according to court documents filed Aug. 11 in a federal district court in Houston.
“You are in our sights, we want to kill you,” Shry allegedly said in the message.
The voicemail also included a direct threat to kill Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Texas), all Democrats in Washington, and all people in the LGBTQ community, according to an affidavit from a special agent with the Department of Homeland Security that was filed with the criminal complaint.
“If Trump doesn’t get elected in 2024, we are coming to kill you, so tread lightly,” she said, finishing the threat with an expletive.
