Woman sentenced to three years in jail for death threatening Donald Trump
A woman has been sentenced to three years in prison after making death threats against the judge presiding over Donald Trump’s classified documents case.
Tiffani Shea Gish from Houston, Texas, pleaded guilty to one count of using interstate communications with a threat to kidnap or injure in November, Sky News’s US parter network NBC News reports.
Gish’s plea came more than a year after she was arrested in connection with threatening voicemails left for US district judge Aileen Cannon.
The messages – which Gish admitted to leaving, according to court documents – said Judge Cannon was “marked for assassination” and would be shot in front of her family.
Gish has now been sentenced to 37 months in federal prison followed by three years of supervised release, the US justice department said.
