Woman charged with threatening to kill judge in Trump’s January 6 case & also all LGBTQ+ people

A 43-year-old Texas woman has been charged with a felony after admitting to making violent threats against the judge presiding over Donald Trump’s January 6 case.

Court documents written by Department of Homeland Security special agent Joshua Henry state that Abigail Jo Shry allegedly called the chambers of Washington D.C. U.S. District Court Judge Tanya Chutkan and left a voicemail message filled with death threats and racist slurs and comments, including calling Chutkan, who is Black, a “stupid slave.”

Henry states that the call came from Shry’s number and that the caller “threatened to kill anyone who went after former President Trump, including a direct threat to kill Congresswomen [sic] Sheila Jackson Lee, all democrats in Washington D.C. and all people in the LGBTQ community.”

“If Trump doesn’t get elected in 2024, we are coming to kill you, so tread lightly, b***h,” the voicemail said. “You will be targeted personally, publicly, your family, all of it.”

Henry wrote that Shry admitted to making the call and also said: “She had no plans to travel to Washington, D.C. or Houston to carry out anything she stated, adding that if Sheila Jackson Lee comes to Alvin [where Shry is from], then we need to worry.”

Shry has been charged with one count of transmitting a threat to injure another person, which could get her up to five years in prison. A judge also reportedly ordered Shry to remain in custody for the next 30 days “to reasonably assure the safety of any other person or the community,” according to Newsweek. The judge also said this is is the fourth time this year Shry has been charged with “similar conduct.”

This month, Trump was indicted for the fourth time, this time for his role as the kingpin of an alleged conspiracy to steal electoral votes in Georgia in 2020 along with 18 coconspirators.

He has also been indicted in New York City for allegedly paying hush money to adult film star Stormy Daniels to keep her quiet about their alleged affair, in D.C. for his role allegedly inciting the January 6 Insurrection, and in Florida for allegedly endangering national security by stealing and showing off classified documents at his home in Mar-a-Lago. He has pled not guilty to all of these charges and will likely plead not guilty in Georgia as well.
