A Texas woman has been charged with threatening in a voicemail to kill the federal judge overseeing former President Donald Trump’s criminal case in Washington, DC, over his attempts to overturn the 2020 election. Abigail Jo Shry called the chambers of Judge Tanya Chutkan on August 5 and left a voicemail message threatening to kill anyone who went after Trump. The death threats also allegedly included a racist comment against Chutkan, who is Black. Shry is charged with Transmission in Interstate or Foreign Commerce of any Communication Containing a Threat to Injure the Person of Another. She is being held in detention pending trial, according to court documents, and a bond hearing has been set for September 13. On August 8, Shry admitted to Department of Homeland Security special agents that she made the call to Chutkan’s chambers but that she had no plans to travel to Washington, DC or Houston to carry out anything she stated. The complaint says Shry also made a direct threat to kill Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee, all the democrats in Washington D.C., and all people in the LGBTQ+ community.
