A 44-year-old Texas woman admitted on Wednesday to threatening a federal judge and U.S. Congresswoman in a racist voice message, according to authorities.

On Aug. 5, 2023, Abigail Jo Shry called the chambers of U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan, who was in charge of former President Donald Trump’s case, accusing him of trying to overturn the 2020 election, and left a message on the voicemail, according to a complaint. Per the feds, Shry started out, “Hey you stupid slave n—-” and proceeded to threaten anyone who went after Trump along with all Democrats in Washington D.C. and all LGBTQ people. She also threatened Democratic U.S. Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, who died earlier this year.
