Christopher Davies, a 32-year-old resident of Cape Coral, Florida, has been sentenced to 27 months in federal prison for threatening to assassinate the President of the United States. The sentence was handed down by U.S. District Judge Sheri P. Chappell after Davies pleaded guilty on October 29, 2025.
According to court documents, Davies wrote a letter to an official at the Charlotte Correctional Institution in which he stated 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 a U.S. Secret Service agent, Davies admitted to writing the letter and explained his intent to kill the President. When asked hypothetically what action he would take if President Trump were near him, Davies claimed that he would attempt to kill President Trump with his bare hands.
U.S. Attorney Gregory W. Kehoe announced the sentencing. The case was investigated by the U.S. Secret Service and prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Patrick L. Darcey.
