Indiana Woman Arrested for Threats Against Former President Trump. Federal authorities arrested 50-year-old Nathalie Rose Jones of Indiana for making violent threats against former President Donald Trump. The Department of Justice, led by U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro, emphasized a “zero tolerance” policy for threats against current or former presidents.
According to court documents, Jones began posting anti-Trump messages online in early August. These posts escalated into explicit threats. Her travel from Indiana to Washington, D.C., was seen as a sign of premeditation and increased risk.
On August 15, Secret Service agents interviewed her. She allegedly called Trump a “terrorist” and a “Nazi,” admitted she was willing to cause harm, and claimed to have access to a weapon. The next day, she attended a protest near the White House, further raising concerns. Though she later said she no longer intended to act on her threats, prosecutors moved forward with charges.
Jones faces federal charges for threatening the President and transmitting threats across state lines — both serious crimes. Officials stressed that while free speech is protected, violent threats are not. The case highlights growing concerns about political violence and the government’s commitment to responding swiftly.
