Obama Judge, Boasberg, Frees NYC Woman Accused of Horrific Threats Against Trump

A New York City woman accused of making repeated threats to kill President Donald Trump was released from custody last week by an Obama-appointed judge, according to federal court filings, as reported by the New York Post.

Nathalie Rose Jones, 50, of New York, was taken into custody earlier in August after posting a series of alarming messages online in which she threatened to kill the President.

On August 27, Chief U.S. District Judge James Boasberg, who was appointed by former President Barack Obama in 2011, ordered her release under electronic monitoring and mandated psychiatric treatment.

The ruling came just days after U.S. Magistrate Judge Moxila Upadhyaya had denied bond, citing the ongoing danger posed by Jones’ threats.

Court documents show that Jones wrote on Facebook on August 6:

“I literally told FBI in five states today 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. Let’s deal with this and restore domestic tranquility.”

In another post, she addressed Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth directly, urging him 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.”

Federal officials had been monitoring Jones’ online activity since August 2. On August 15, she reportedly told Secret Service agents during an interview that she would “carry out the mission of killing” the President with a “bladed object” if given the opportunity.

Her posts often tagged federal agencies, including the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and the Department of Homeland Security.

Friends of Jones testified that she suffers from schizophrenia and other mental health issues but had not previously exhibited violent behavior, according to court filings cited by Law and Crime.

Her arrest was initially announced by newly appointed D.C. U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro. In a statement at the time, Pirro wrote:

“Threatening the life of the President is one of the most serious crimes and one that will be met with swift and unwavering prosecution. Make no mistake — justice will be served.”

Jones is awaiting trial on felony charges of threatening to kill the President. Her release under monitoring and psychiatric conditions has raised questions, as the case continues to move through federal court.
