A Houston-area woman is facing federal charges for allegedly threatening Judge Aileen Cannon, the federal judge who approved the appointment of a special master to review items seized by the FBI during its Aug. 8 search at Mar-a-Lago, former President Donald Trump's primary residence.
In an affidavit dated Sept. 6, an FBI agent wrote that Tiffani Shea Gish left three threatening, vulgar voicemails for Cannon using the pseudonym Evelyn Salt, a character in the movie "Salt." Gish allegedly told Cannon that "Donald Trump has been disqualified long ago, and he's marked for assassination, you're helping him, ma'am."
Gish faces two charges related to threatening a federal official and was ordered detained pending trial after an initial court appearance.
