Good afternoon, Chicago.

A Chicago woman was arrested today on federal charges alleging she threatened to kill former President Donald Trump and his 17-year-old son Barron.

Tracy Marie Fiorenza, 41, was charged in a criminal complaint unsealed in Florida last week. The five-page complaint alleged that on May 21, Fiorenza emailed the headmaster of a Palm Beach County school and wrote, “I will state that I will shoot Donald Trump Sr. AND Baron Trump (sic) straight in the face at any opportunity that I get!”
