U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia, Jeanine Pirro — the former Fox News host now holding a senior post at the Department of Justice — announced Monday that federal authorities have arrested a woman accused of threatening the life of former President Donald Trump.
In a video statement shared on social media, Pirro identified the suspect as Nathalie Rose Jones, who is now facing two federal charges.
“Hi everyone, it’s Judge Jeanine. I just wanted to update you from the U.S. Attorney’s Office in D.C. that Nathalie Rose Jones is in custody, charged with knowingly and willfully making threats against the President of the United States,” Pirro said.
According to Pirro, Jones traveled from New York to Washington, D.C., where she escalated her threats. Investigators say she repeatedly targeted Trump online, posting messages on Facebook and Instagram in which she referred to him as a “terrorist” and called for his removal.
“She is now in custody and will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Make no mistake about that,” Pirro emphasized.
