A 50-year-old woman, who was locked up after making a series of disturbing social media posts threatening to kill Donald Trump, was quietly released by the judge, whom the US president hates. Last week, chief US district judge James Boasberg released Nathalie Rose Jones, a resident of Big Apple under electronic monitoring. The Obama-appointed judge also ordered her to see a psychiatrist once back home. The decision came less than a week after US magistrate judge Moxila Upadhyaya had denied bond, citing Jones’s persistent threats.In a Facebook post on August 6, Jones allegedly wrote that she was “willing to sacrificially kill this POTUS by disemboweling him and cutting out his trachea,” and claimed to have alerted FBI offices across five states. Other posts urged defence secretary Pete Hegseth to coordinate Trump’s “arrest and removal” at the White House.Jones later told Secret Service agents in an August 15 interview that she would “carry out the mission” with a “bladed object” if given the chance, according to court filings.Friends of Jones said she has long struggled with schizophrenia and other mental health issues, but has never acted violently. Boasberg ordered her to remain under strict monitoring while awaiting trial.Her arrest was announced earlier this month by new DC US attorney Jeanine Pirro, who vowed aggressive prosecution. “Threatening the life of the President is one of the most serious crimes and one that will be met with swift and unwavering prosecution,” Pirro said.
