A woman of dual citizenship of Canada and France who sent a letter filled with ricin to President Donald Trump pleaded guilty to “prohibitions with respect to biological weapons.”
According to the plea agreement filed in a Washington, DC, federal court, Pascale Cecile Veronique Ferrier sent threatening letters containing the poison in September 2020.
Veronique Ferrier, 55, was arrested at the New York-Ontario border in 2020 after gents discovered she sent a letter addressed to the White House which contained ricin.
Ferrier also sent ricin-filled letters to eight Texas State law enforcement officials.
As CNN reported:
The letters included references to a “special gift” and said that, “If it doesn’t work, I will find a better recipe for another poison,” according to the agreement. In several letters, Ferrier wrote that she “might use my gun when I will be able to come.”
In her letter to Trump, Ferrier wrote, “You ruin USA and lead them to disaster. I have US cousins, then I don’t want the next 4 years with you as President. Give up and remove your application for this election!”
Ferrier had previously been detained in Texas for several weeks in 2019 and chose to send letters containing ricin to law enforcement officials she thought were involved in her detention, the agreement says.
The DOJ released details regarding Ferrier’s guilty plea:
‘Ferrier was detained in the State of Texas for around 10 weeks in the spring of 2019, and she believed that the law enforcement officials were connected to her period of detention.”
“In early September 2020, Ferrier used the Twitter social media service to propose that someone should “please shoot [T]rump in the face.”
Ferrier told border officials that the FBI wanted her for the letters, the agreement says.
“This woman did not succeed in her efforts to poison numerous public officials in our district, but her actions still created fear and stress for many of these dedicated public servants,” US Attorney Alamdar Hamdani said in a statement from the Justice Department.
Judge Dabney L. Friedrich is scheduled to sentence Ferrier on April 26, 2023.
Ferrier is expected to be sentenced to 22 years in prison.
