Nurse who ‘vowed to kill’ Kamala Harris because VP ‘wasn’t black’ pleads guilty after sending felon husband gun pics
A NURSE who "vowed to kill" Kamala Harris because the Vice President "wasn't black" pleaded guilty on Friday after sending her felon husband photos of guns.
Niviane Petit Phelps — a 31-year-old who once recorded a video telling Harris "you are going to die" — pled guilty on September 10 in federal district court to a six-count indictment charging her with making threats to kill the VP.
"During the change of plea hearing, Phelps admitted that in February, she sent her husband, who was in prison, 30-second video clips of herself threatening to kill the Vice President," the Department of Justice (DOJ) news release states.
"The videos show Phelps making the threats, screaming curse words, saying that she had accepted $53,000, to carry out the 'hit' against Vice President Harris, and explaining that she would carry out the assassination within 50 days."
Some of the footage was recorded by Phelps, a mom of three, and others were taken by her children, the DOJ explains.
After the videos were sent out, Phelps "sent a photograph of herself holding a firearm with a target sheet at a gun range. "
Phelps applied for a concealed weapon permit a few days later and eventually admitted to telling law enforcement officers that she "doesn't know" the events that would've unfolded if they didn't show up at her house, the release states.
She is set to appear in court for sentencing on November 19 at 2pm and faces a possible maximum sentence of five years in prison.
A criminal complaint filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of says Special Agent David Ballenger was notified of a threat to kill Harris on March 3.
Back in April, Phelps' defense attorney, Scott Saul, told the he did not suspect his client "was a genuine threat to the vice president."

"All this case involved was my client venting to her incarcerated husband," he told the news outlet in a statement.
