CNS News–Tiffani Gish, a 50-year-old woman from Houston, has been sentenced to three years in federal prison for making threatening remarks towards U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon, who presides over a case involving former President Donald Trump. Gish pleaded guilty to using interstate communications to convey threats against Judge Cannon, who is overseeing legal proceedings related to Trump’s handling of classified documents.
The Department of Justice announced Gish’s sentencing, stating that she left three threatening voicemails for Judge Cannon, claiming to be associated with military combat units and threatening violence. Gish’s voicemails included explicit threats of harm, including mentioning snipers and a bomb threat directed at Judge Cannon’s residence.
U.S. District Judge David Hittner handed down Gish’s sentence of 37 months in federal prison, followed by three years of supervised release. The severity of the sentence reflects the court’s commitment to safeguarding the integrity of the judiciary and deterring individuals from threatening violence against public officials.

Gish’s sentencing serves as a reminder of the legal repercussions for individuals who seek to intimidate or harm judges, regardless of their motives or grievances. It reinforces the principle that threats against public officials will not be tolerated and underscores the responsibility of law enforcement to protect the judiciary from potential harm.
