According to a criminal complaint filed earlier this month, Tracy Fiorenza, 41, sent two chilling emails to the school principal in Palm Beach County, Florida.

US intelligence contacted Fiorenza to set up a meeting at their field offices in Chicago. When asked about the violent messages, Fiorenza admitted sending them from her home in Plainfield, Illinois, reports the New York Post.
After the meeting, she was charged with transmitting threats to kill or hurt someone, a charge carrying a maximum sentence of five years in prison.

Fiorenza remains in the custody of US Marshals.
According to the Chicago Sun-Times, prosecutors had asked that she be held until transferred to Florida for a criminal hearing because Barron Trump was a minor.
