according<\/a> to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Hawaii. She received time served and was ordered to complete three years of supervised release.<\/p>\n\n\n\nAccording to court records and statements made in court, Folley posted a threat against President Biden on March 2, 2024, on her \u201cBecca Waters\u201d Facebook page, writing, \u201cGoing to kill the president [\u2026].\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On January 30, 2025, using the same account, Folley tagged a post on the Facebook page of Honolulu City and County Councilman Tommy Waters and wrote, \u201cLETS SEE IF THIS WILL TRIGGER THE GOVERNMENTAL RED FLAGS, AS TO REACH FEDERAL OFFICE\u2019S OUTSIDE OF THE STATE OF HAWAII. 1\/30\/2025\u2026\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
She attached screenshots stating, \u201cI AM GOING TO BLOW UP THE WHITEHOUSE AND KILL THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Days later, on February 3, 2025, Folley posted, \u201cYUP, EVERYONE, PLEASE LOOK AT MY BEAUTIFUL PUBLIC PRESIDENTIAL DEATH THREATS AND PUBLIC THREATS TO BLOW UP The White House BECAUSE I CAN LEGALLY GET AWAY WITH IT\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Folley had been in custody from her arrest on April 3, 2025, until November 6, 2025, and the court credited that time toward her sentence. As part of her supervised release, she must undergo mandatory mental health and drug treatment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
