(Reuters) -A Texas woman who made violent threats in a voicemail left with the federal judge who oversaw the since-dismissed criminal election subversion case against President Donald Trump was sentenced on Wednesday to 27 months in prison.

Abigail Jo Shry of Alvin, Texas, was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Keith Ellison in Houston after admitting last year she had threatened to kill anyone who went after Trump in a 2023 voicemail left with the chambers of U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan, in Washington, D.C.
