Chutkan, the federal judge in Washington who is overseeing former President Donald J. Trump\u2019s prosecution on charges of seeking to overturn the 2020 election.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The woman, Abigail Jo Shry, of Alvin, Texas, called Judge Chutkan\u2019s chambers on Aug. 5, two days after Mr. Trump was arraigned on the election interference charges, and left a voice mail message attacking the judge, who is Black, with a racial slur, according to a criminal complaint unsealed on Friday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the message, Ms. Shry told Judge Chutkan, \u201cIf Trump doesn\u2019t get elected in 2024, we are coming to kill you, so tread lightly, bitch,\u201d according to the complaint. She added, \u201cYou will be targeted personally, publicly, your family, all of it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ms. Shry, 43, also issued a threat against Representative Sheila Jackson Lee, a Black Democratic congresswoman from Texas, the complaint said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mr. Trump has a long history of verbally attacking judges and other people involved in the criminal cases brought against him, particularly on social media. The day before the call, Mr. Trump had posted a message on his social media platform, Truth Social, saying, \u201cIF YOU GO AFTER ME, I\u2019M COMING AFTER YOU!\u201d (His campaign said his words were not directed against anyone involved in the election interference case.)&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NY Times: &#8220;A Texas woman has been charged with threatening to kill Tanya S.
