Federal authorities said Abigail Shry, 43, called a federal courthouse in Washington D.C. and made threats against U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan and U.S....
Chutkan is the judge randomly assigned to preside over Trump’s case in which he faces criminal charges related to his attempts to overturn the 2020 election. She has also presided over cases for people who participated in the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol.
Trump has repeatedly made attacks against Chutkan. Two days ago, he posted on Truth Social saying “she obviously wants me behind bars” and is “very biased and unfair.”An investigation determined the phone number used to call the courthouse was issued to a cell phone owned by Shry, who lives in Alvin, a city near Houston. Three days after she made the call, special agents with the Department of Homeland Security spoke to her at home.
According to the complaint, Shry said the phone number belonged to her and that she did make the call to Chutkan’s chambers. She told authorities she had no plans to travel to Washington D.C. or Houston to carry out threats and added that if Rep. Lee comes to Alvin, “then we need to worry.” Shry is accused of violating U.S. federal criminal codes and is facing a charge of transmission in interstate or foreign commerce of any communication containing a threat to injure the person or another. Court records show the federal public defender’s office in Houston is appointed to represent her. The office did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Shry has a hearing scheduled for Sept. 13 to determine whether she should be released from custody pending a trial, records show.
