Report: Journalist files police report after threats over Melania Trump profile

Source: CBS News

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Journalist Julia Ioffe, who wrote a profile for GQ Magazine last month on the wife of Republican front-runner Donald Trump, has apparently filed a report with the D.C. police department after receiving threats.

The Washington Post reports that Ioffe filed the report over anti-Semitic threats she received, many appearing to come from Trump supporters, after writing the article on Melania Trump.

The threats came through phone calls and emails, and the allged offense is categorized as "threat to kidnap or injure a person." According to the Post, one threat sent to her included a caricature of a person being shot in the back of the head by another.

In April, Melania Trump trashed GQ Magazine for "disingenuous reporting" after the publication dove deep into her family's past and published a report.

It basically could be summed as "Melania Trump is married to Donald Trump." That's pretty much the point of the article.

Other than the fact that Melania's dad bears a slight resemblance to Donald. Which is a little creepy.



But not nearly as creepy as this:
