A woman from Indiana has been arrested by U.S. federal authorities after allegedly threatening U.S. President Donald Trump with kidnapping and murder through social media.
According to an Aug. 18 press release from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia, Nathalie Rose Jones, 50, asked U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth in a social media 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 is alleged to have written on Aug. 6 that “I am willing to sacrificially kill this POTUS by disemboweling him and cutting out his trachea with Liz Cheney and all The Affirmation present.”
According to the press release, the woman submitted to a voluntary interview with the U.S. Secret Service on Aug. 15, where she called Trump a “terrorist” and a “Nazi”.
The D.C. Attorney’s Office also said she had a “bladed object” which would be used to “carry out her mission of killing” Trump, her motive being to “avenge all the lives lost during the COVID-19 pandemic” for which she blamed the presidents’ policies and vaccine stance.
The woman joined a protest in the U.S. capital, which marched around the White House complex on Aug. 16, investigators said.
“Following the march, the U.S. Secret Service interviewed Jones for a second time, during which she admitted that she had made threats towards President Trump during her interview the previous day,” the press release said.
In the second interview, she denied having any present desire to harm Trump. However, law enforcement arrested her and she confirmed to be behind the threatening social media posts.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office identified an account on Instagram and Facebook labelled “Nath.Jones” that was posting threatening messages towards the U.S. president.
