A Chicago area woman has been charged with sending emails threatening to shoot former President Donald Trump and his 17-year-old son, Barron, “straight in the face at any opportunity that I get.”
Tracy Marie Fiorenza, 41, has been charged with one federal count of transmitting threats to kill or injure another person in interstate commerce.
“I will shoot Donald Trump Sr. AND Barron Trump straight in the face at any opportunity that I get!” she wrote in May according to an affidavit from a Secret Service agent.
“I am going to slam a bullet in Baron (sic) Trump’s head with his father IN SELF DEFENSE!” she wrote in June.
She was contacted by the U.S. Secret Service and met with agents for a voluntary interview where she confirmed to authorities that she intentionally wrote and sent those emails.
“Based upon the foregoing, your affiant submits that there is probably cause to believe that FIORENZA did knowingly and willfully make threats via commercial email to take the life of or to inflict bodily harm upon the persons of the former President of the United States and a member of the immediate family of a former President,” the complaint against her reads.
