U.S. Attorney for Washington, D.C. Jeanine Pirro said Monday that a female suspect who made threats to kill President Donald Trump has been arrested and charged there.

Nathalie Rose Jones was charged with “knowingly and willfully threatening to take the life of the president of the United States.”

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.

"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," Pirro posted on X.

Prosecuted "to the fullest"

She went on to credit Secret Service Special Agents from New York and Washington for their work in protecting Trump.

The threats were made on social media, and Jones traveled from New York to D.C. in an attempt to complete the deed.

“She did come from New York to Washington, D.C., and she has been threatening and calling for the removal of the president and even worse as she got to D.C. Her threats were on Facebook and Instagram and she continues to call the president a terrorist and was working to have him eliminated. She is now in custody [and] she will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. Make no mistake about that,” Pirro said.

The threats follow two previous attempts on Trump's life--one in Butler, Pennsylvania where a bullet grazed his ear and one at his golf course near Mar-a-Lago.

More arrests

Amid Trump's federalization of D.C., Pirro also announced that 137 people were arrested and 21 illegal guns seized over the weekend in Washington, D.C.

The charges ranged from homicide to sex crimes, drug trafficking, and others.

Trump is firmly committed to stopping violent crimes in D.C., particularly after high-profile incidents like the brutal beating of Edward Coristine earlier this month and the fatal shooting of a congressional intern in May.

Pirro ordered her office to maximize charges against those arrested on the streets of Washington, D.C. during Trump's crackdown, forbidding her team to apply lesser charges where stiffer federal ones could be given.

“In line with President Trump’s directive to make D.C. safe, U.S. Attorney Pirro has made it clear that the old way of doing things is unacceptable,” said Tim Lauer, a spokesman for Ms. Pirro. “She directed her staff to charge the highest crime that is supported by the law and the evidence.”

While such a strategy may seem cruel, it will be a deterrent for further crimes and make most would-be criminals think twice before they act in the future.
