Indiana Woman Arrested for Threatening to Kill Trump

The News

A deranged woman was hit with federal charges Monday after threatening to kill President Trump in a disturbing social media post and subsequent interview with the Secret Service.

Nathalie Rose Jones, 50, was arrested on Saturday after she made the threats on Facebook and Instagram and then traveled from New York to Washington, DC, with the goal of having Trump “eliminated” if the opportunity presented itself, DC US Attorney Jeanine Pirro said Monday.

“I am willing to sacrificially kill this POTUS by disemboweling him and cutting out his trachea with Liz Cheney and all The Affirmation present,” Jones allegedly wrote in an Aug. 6 Facebook post directed at the FBI, according to prosecutors.

Jones later urged Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, in an Aug. 14 Facebook post, to “please arrange the arrest and removal ceremony of POTUS Trump as a terrorist on the American People from 10-2pm at the White House on Saturday, August 16th, 2025.”

Jones told the Secret Service during a voluntary Aug. 15 interview that if she had the chance, she would “carry out her mission of killing” the president at “the compound” with a “bladed object.”

The woman told agents that she sought to “avenge all the lives lost during the Covid-19 pandemic” and also referred to Trump as a “terrorist” and a “nazi.”
