Authorities said Abigail Jo Shry used a racial slur directed toward U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan, who is Black.
A 43-year-old Texas woman is accused of making threats to a congresswoman and the federal judge overseeing former President Donald Trump’s trial in the Jan. 6 case.
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.” 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.
