A Texas judge has charged a woman with threatening to kill the judge overseeing former President Trump’s 2020 election case and a House Democrat who is running for Houston mayor.
Abigail Jo Shry called Judge Tanya Chutkan’s chambers at the federal courthouse in Washington, D.C., on Aug. 5, days after Trump was indicted on charges stemming from his efforts to overturn the 2020 election. (RELATED: Trump Indicted Again For Third Time – This One Could Be Serious)
Investigators were able to trace the call back to her and she later admitted to making the threatening phone call, according to The Hill.
When investigators showed up to talk to her at her home in Alvin, Texas, Shry admitted to making the phone call but clarified she was not planning to travel to D.C. or Houston to carry out her threats.
Court documents show that she called Chutkan a racial slur before threatening to kill anyone who comes after Trump, all Democrats in Washington, D.C., — including Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, a 15-term Democrat who announced in March that she would run for the local election in Houston — and members of the LGBTQ community. She told Chutkan, “You are in our sights, we want to kill you,” according to the documents.
Prosecutors also accuse Shry of saying, “If Trump doesn’t get elected in 2024, we are coming to kill you,” the documents said.
On Wednesday, a federal judge for the Southern District of Texas ordered Shry jailed Wednesday, saying that keeping her in custody will “reasonably assure the safety of any other person and the community.”
Former President Trump has fired off a series of attacks against the judges presiding over his numerous legal battles across the country.
“IF YOU GO AFTER ME, I’M COMING AFTER YOU!” Trump published on Truth Social in response to his third indictment.

Some globalist puppet, god worshiping, imbread demonrat criminal voter is pretending to be a republican . . . . .
That was my first response after reading this “charge”. I know NO “MAGA” supporter who would ever think of doing something as stupid as this. It’s a “con job” by the Democrats, no doubt about it.
I think many of us feel the same way. What they are doing to Trump is pure fascism and it’s criminal. We should not let these CRIMINAL RACIST DemoKKKrat Fascists continue on with their witch hunt and fake dossiers.
Im wrong a crazy Biden voter??
