Prosecutors drop federal case against woman accused of threatening to kill Trump
The grand jury's refusal to indict led prosecutors to dismiss charges against Nathalie Rose Jones, highlighting First Amendment considerations in threat cases, officials said.
- Prosecutors from the Justice Department have decided to dismiss the case against Nathalie Rose Jones, who had faced federal allegations for making threats against President Donald Trump.
- Jones, 50, from Lafayette, Indiana, made death threats in a Facebook post on August 6 and during questioning by Secret Service agents on August 15.
- She expressed a desire to remove Trump from office without violence but stated she would kill him at his compound if necessary; however, a grand jury declined to indict her, citing protections under the First Amendment.
- A one-page court filing by U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro's office stated dismissing the case "is in the interests of justice," without further explanation.
- Jones's attorney, Mary Petras, requested that the case be dismissed with prejudice to bar any future prosecutions, highlighting the uncommon grand jury decision not to indict in this instance.
