On August 16, a 50-year-old woman from Indiana was arrested in Washington, D.C., after making violent threats against former President Donald Trump on social media. The woman, identified as Nathalie Rose Jones, now faces serious federal charges, the Department of Justice revealed in a press statement.
Authorities say Jones was apprehended while attending a protest event in the nation’s capital. According to court filings, she had already drawn the attention of the US Secret Service due to a series of disturbing online posts targeting Trump.

One of her most alarming messages, dated August 6, was posted to Facebook. In it, she allegedly wrote, “Literally told FBI in five states today that I am willing to sacrificially kill this POTUS by disemboweling him and cutting out his trachea.” Other posts made on Instagram reportedly called for Trump’s removal from office, labelled him a “terrorist,” and described his presidency as a “dictatorship.”
Jones voluntarily spoke with Secret Service agents. During the interview, she allegedly referred to Trump as a “terrorist” and “Nazi,” and stated that if given the chance, she would kill him “at the compound.” She also claimed to possess a “bladed object” to “carry out her mission of killing” Trump, which she said was to “avenge all the lives lost during the Covid-19 pandemic.”
As a result of these threats, the US District Court has charged Jones with multiple offences. These include threatening to take the life of, kidnap, or inflict bodily harm upon the President of the United States, as well as transmitting threats to kidnap or injure another person.
In a press release, the Department of Justice confirmed the ongoing investigation, led by the US Secret Service. Authorities also stated that Jones admitted to being the owner of the Facebook account from which the threatening posts originated.
US Attorney Jeanine Pirro commented on the case, emphasising its severity, “Threatening the life of the President is one of the most serious crimes and one that will be met with swift and unwavering prosecution. Make no mistake—justice will be served.”
If convicted, Jones could face significant prison time under federal law.
