Texas woman accused of mailing bomb to Obama

HOUSTON — A Texas woman has been accused of mailing homemade explosives to former president Barack Obama and Texas Gov. Greg Abbott that could have maimed or killed them, according to documents filed in federal court.

Julia Poff, 46, mailed the devices in October 2016, along with a third package that she sent to the Social Security Administration, according to the indictment. Of the three packages, only Abbott opened his. It did not detonate because “he did not open it as designed,” according to court documents.

Poff was known to dislike Obama, the investigators said, and was “upset with Greg Abbott” because “she had not received support from her ex-husband,” according to the documents. Poff also had applied for Social Security benefits but was denied, the documents said.

Poff, of Berkshire, Texas, has been charged with six counts, including mailing injurious articles and transporting explosives with the intent to kill and injure. She has also been charged with defrauding the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, which provides food stamps, and falsely declaring bankruptcy — issues that came up during the course of the investigation.
