Federal agents arrested a Chicago-area woman Monday on a complaint accusing her of sending emails threatening to shoot former President Donald Trump and his son Barron, according to federal prosecutors and a newly unsealed criminal complaint.
Tracy Marie Fiorenza, 41, was arrested Monday morning on a charge of transmitting threats to kill or injure, according to the U.S. attorney's office in Chicago. The case was filed earlier this month in U.S. District Court in southern Florida but was only unsealed this week.
"I will state that I will shoot Donald Trump Sr. AND Barron Trump straight in the face at any opportunity I get!," Fiorenza said in a May 21 email to the head of an educational institution in the Palm Beach, Florida, area, according to an affidavit accompanying the complaint.The information you need to know, sent directly to you: Download the CTV News App
Fiorenza allegedly wrote a similar email on June 5, saying she would "slam a bullet" into Barron Trump "with his father IN SELF DEFENSE!," according to the affidavit submitted by a U.S. Secret Service agent. Neither the headmaster nor the school where the emails were allegedly sent was named in the charging documents.Fiorenza was expected to make an initial court appearance in Chicago Monday and could eventually be transferred to the district court in Florida to answer the charges.
Agents interviewed Fiorenza at the agency's Chicago field on June 14 -- during which she was shown copies of the emails, according to the affidavit.
