Christopher Davies, 32, of Cape Coral, was sentenced Tuesday by U.S. District Judge Sheri P. Chappell to 27 months in federal prison for making a threat to assassinate President Donald Trump.
Davies pleaded guilty on October 29, 2025.
According to court documents, Davies wrote a letter in March 2025 to an official at the Charlotte Correctional Institution stating that he had “orchestrated the most daring Presidential assassination that this country has ever seen,” and that “Donald J. Trump must perish.”
During questioning by agent from the U.S. Secret Service, Davies admitted to writing the letter and explained that he wanted to kill the President. When asked hypothetically what he would do if President Trump was near him, Davies claimed that he would attempt to kill President Trump with his bare hands.
This case was investigated by the U.S. Secret Service.
