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.”
The Secret Service, which had been aware of the woman’s social media activity since Aug. 2, arranged to interview Jones the day after her message for Hegseth.
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.”
Jones was arrested the following day after participating in a protest near the White House.
The Secret Service interviewed Jones after the march, and she admitted to making threats against Trump.
Jones, however, denied having any “present desire to harm” the commander in chief, according to the DC US attorney’s office.
“Threatening the life of the President is one of the most serious crimes and one that will be met with swift and unwavering prosecution,” Pirro said in a statement.
“Make no mistake — justice will be served,” she added.
Jones, who is from Lafayette, Ind., was charged in the US District Court for Washington, DC, with threatening to take the life of, kidnap, or inflict bodily harm upon the President of the United States, and transmitting in interstate commerce communications containing threats to kidnap any person or any threat to injure the person of another.
The White House did not immediately respond to The Post’s request for comment.
