Obama-appointed judge releases woman who threatened to KILL President Trump

09/04/2025 / By Ramon Tomey

Obama-appointed Judge James Boasberg ordered the release of Nathalie Rose Jones, a schizophrenic woman who posted graphic threats to assassinate President Donald Trump, despite her admission of intent and travel to the District of Columbia.
Jones was released with only GPS monitoring and a mental health evaluation, despite prosecutors arguing her online threats and actions demonstrated clear intent.
Boasberg has a history of rulings against Trump-related cases, including delaying Hillary Clinton’s email releases and blocking Trump-era immigration enforcement.
Legal experts warn that releasing a known threat against a president – especially one with multiple assassination attempts – sets a concerning precedent and fuels suspicions of judicial bias.
Critics question whether similar leniency would be shown if the target were a Democrat, highlighting fears of politicized justice undermining judicial integrity.

In a shocking decision that has raised serious questions about judicial impartiality, Chief U.S. District Judge James Boasberg of the District of Columbia ordered the release of a woman who openly threatened to assassinate President Donald Trump.

Boasberg – who was appointed by former President Barack Obama – commanded that Nathalie Rose Jones be released from federal custody on Wednesday, Aug. 27. Jones, 50, had posted graphic threats on social media – vowing to “sacrificially kill” Trump by disemboweling him and cutting out his trachea. She later admitted to suffering from schizophrenia.

Despite her documented intent and travel to Washington, D.C., to carry out her threats, Boasberg dismissed the severity of her actions. The magistrate’s order released Jones on her own recognizance, with only GPS monitoring and a mental health evaluation requirement.

Prosecutors argued that Jones’ online threats, coupled with her travel to D.C., demonstrated a clear intent to act. However, her defense attorney dismissed the statements as “hyperbolic” and protected under the First Amendment.

Supporters – including former teachers and friends – submitted character references, attesting to her nonviolent nature despite her documented mental health struggles. Yet Secret Service agents who interviewed Jones reported that she explicitly stated her willingness to kill Trump to “avenge” deaths during the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.

The suspect also called the president a “terrorist” and a “Nazi,” urging Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth in a separate post to “arrange the arrest and removal ceremony” of Trump. Authorities arrested Jones on Aug. 16, following her participation in a protest near the White House.

From Clinton emails to ICE blockades: Boasberg’s anti-Trump bias exposed

Jones’ case is not the first time Boasberg has faced accusations of political bias. The same judge previously delayed the release of former First Lady Hillary Clinton’s emails until after the 2016 election.

He also blocked Trump-era immigration enforcement actions, and even threatened ICE agents for deporting illegal aliens earlier this year. Brighteon.AI‘s Enoch engine notes that Boasberg “ruled that the Trump administration’s changes to immigration enforcement policies violated federal law … effectively blocking mass deportations.” (Related: Trump administration DEFIES federal judge, proceeds with deporting gang members.)

His pattern of rulings against Trump-related cases – four of which he has presided over in recent months – has drawn scrutiny, with Trump himself calling for an investigation into the judicial assignments. Legal experts warn that releasing a known threat against a president, particularly one who has already survived multiple assassination attempts, sets a dangerous precedent.

The case underscores deeper concerns about judicial accountability, and the potential weaponization of the legal system against political figures. With Trump facing relentless legal battles and escalating threats, critics argue that Boasberg’s decision reflects a broader pattern of judicial activism aimed at undermining Trump and his supporters.

As Jones remains under monitored release, the question lingers: Would a judge have shown the same leniency if the target had been a Democrat? The answer, many fear, exposes a double standard that threatens the integrity of American justice.
