Chicago Woman Arrested by Secret Service for Threatening to Shoot President Donald Trump and Son Barron

Tracy Marie Fiorenza, a 41-year-old woman from Chicago, was arrested on federal charges for threatening to kill former President Donald Trump and his 17-year-old son Barron.

The charges, which include transmitting threats to kill or injure another person, carry a potential sentence of up to five years in prison.

Fiorenza’s arrest comes after she sent threatening emails to the headmaster of a school in Palm Beach County, Florida, where the Trump family resides.

According to a criminal complaint unsealed in Florida, Fiorenza sent two separate emails to the school headmaster, expressing her intention to harm the Trumps.

In the first email, dated May 21, 2023, Fiorenza wrote, “I will state that I will shoot Donald Trump Sr. AND Barron Trump straight in the face at any opportunity that I get!”

The second email, sent on June 5, 2023, stated, “… I am going to slam a bullet in Barron Trump’s head with his father IN SELF DEFENSE!” These explicit threats led to a swift investigation by federal authorities, resulting in Fiorenza’s arrest.

Following the receipt of the threatening emails, agents from the U.S. Secret Service’s Chicago branch initiated an investigation into Fiorenza.

In June, a Secret Service agent contacted her and arranged a meeting at the agency’s downtown office. During the meeting, Fiorenza was confronted with copies of the emails she had sent.

According to the federal complaint, she admitted to intentionally writing and sending the threatening emails from her former residence in Plainfield, Illinois. Her admission of guilt further solidified the case against her.

De-dollarization is irreversible – Putin

BRICS will become economically more powerful than the G7, the Russian president said in an address to the Johannesburg summit

The US dollar is losing its global role in an “objective and irreversible” process, the Russian president told participants at the BRICS Summit in South Africa on Tuesday. Vladimir Putin spoke by via videolink, after choosing not to attend the event in person.

De-dollarization is “gaining momentum” he said, adding that members of the group of major emerging economies are seeking to reduce their reliance on the greenback in mutual transactions.

The Russian leader said the five nations – Russia, China, India, Brazil and South Africa – are becoming the new world economic leaders, and that their cumulative share of global GDP has reached 26%.

He noted that if measured by purchasing power parity, BRICS has already surpassed the Group of Seven leading industrialised nations – accounting for 31% of the global economy, compared to 30% for the G7.

Over the past 10 years, mutual investment between the BRICS member states has increased by six times. Their total investments in the world economy have doubled, while cumulative exports account for 20% of the global total, Putin said

Moscow is focusing on re-orienting its transport and logistics routes towards “reliable foreign partners,” including BRICS members, to ensure an uninterrupted supply of energy and food to the international market.

Russia’s primary goals include developing the Northern Sea Route and the ‘North-South’ transport corridor, Putin stated. The first, passing through the Arctic Ocean, along Russia’s northern coastline, will ensure faster goods deliveries between Europe and the Far East. The second will connect Russia’s northern and Baltic ports to the Persian Gulf and the Indian Ocean, facilitating cargo movement between Eurasian and African nations.

“We are consistently increasing fuel, food and fertilizer supplies to the states of the Global South,” and actively contributing to global food and energy security, the Russian leader said. He blamed the current international food crisis on the West’s unilateral sanctions, describing them as “unlawful.”

“Illegitimate sanctions… seriously weigh on the international economic situation,” and the “unlawful freezing of sovereign states’ assets” constitutes a violation of free trade and economic cooperation rules.
