One woman is in jail accused of making threats towards former president Trump, while the other woman is in jail for making threats towards those who come against Trump. Here’s the full story.
Threat Towards Donald and Barron Trump
41-year-old Tracy Marie Fiorenza was charged in federal court for threatening to kill former president Trump and his youngest son, Barron.
She Emailed the School
A complaint against Fiorenza was filed in Palm Beach, Florida stating that she emailed the headmaster of a school in Florida saying, “I will shoot Donald Trump Sr. AND Baron Trump straight in the face at any opportunity that I get!”
A Second Email
In a second email to the same school, Fiorenza also wrote that she would “slam a bullet in Baron Trump’s head with his father IN SELF DEFENSE.”
The Secret Service Steps In
When agents from the United States Secret Service contacted Fiorenza, she willingly met with them to give a voluntary audio and video interview.
It Was Me
In her interview, Fiorenza confirmed that it was she who intentionally wrote and sent the emails threatening to shoot Donald and Barron Trump.
Close to Home
Fiorenza was charged with “transmitting threats to kill or injure another person in interstate commerce.”
The school in Palm Beach where the emails were sent is close to Trump’s home in Mar-A-Lago.
Fiorenza Rants on Facebook
On Fiorenza’s Facebook page, she often posted anti-Trump memes and conspiracy theories about an elite pedophile ring in Hollywood. One post had a cartoon image of Trump in handcuffs with the caption, “I have a dream…”
Several other posts on Fiorenza’s Facebook page show the former President being hanged from a tree and call for his arrest.
Former Teacher
Fiorenza also claims to be a former social studies teacher in Chicago. Chicago Public Schools confirmed that she was an employee from September of 2019 through August of 2020 when she was fired.
Shocking Reactions
Twitter users were shocked when they read about Fiorenza’s threats towards Trump and his son, Barron.
Brian Krassenstein wrote, “I can’t stand the guy. I would never wish harm on him though.”
Threats From Texas
While Fiorenza sat in jail for threatening the former president and his son, another woman was arrested in Texas for threatening to protect Donald Trump.
The Judge Is Under Attack
Abigail Jo Shry was charged with threatening to kill the judge presiding over Donald Trump’s criminal case in Washington DC.
A Threatening Message
Shry called a federal courthouse in Washington and left a threatening message for Judge Tanya Chutkan, referring to her as a “stupid slave.”
She Wants Trump Elected
Shry’s voicemail to Chutkan said, “You are in our sights, we want to kill you.”
She also told the judge, “If Trump doesn’t get elected in 2024, we are coming to kill you, so tread lightly, b***h.”
She’s Threatening Everyone
Shry’s voicemail went on to say that she would kill anyone who went after Trump, including “all Democrats in Washington D.C., and all people in the LGBTQ community.”
The Judge’s Family Is Threatened
The complaint against Shry said that she threatened to target Chutkan “personally” and “publicly” as well as Chutkan’s family.
Sheila Jackson Lee
Democratic Representative from Houston, Sheila Jackson Lee, was also on Shry’s list.
In the voicemail, Shry also said, “We want to kill Sheila Jackson Lee.”
Shry Admits
After investigators traced the phone call back to Shry, she admitted to leaving the threatening messages.
However, she also told investigators that she had “no plans to travel to Washington D.C. or Houston” to act on her threats.
Shry’s Charges
Shry was charged with “transmitting a threat to injure another person across state lines,” which is a felony. Because of Shry’s criminal record, she was not given bail.
Out on Bond
On the day Shry left the threatening voicemail for Judge Chutkan, she was out of jail on bond for a different misdemeanor charge.
Extra Security
Republicans have accused Chutkan of being biased and want her to step down. The judge has received extra security since the threats were made.
