A shocking case has emerged in New Jersey, where a former congressional staffer stands accused of orchestrating a fabricated violent political attack. Natalie Greene, 26, allegedly conspired with an accomplice to stage the incident on a nature trail in Egg Harbor Township. According to prosecutors, Greene claimed that three gunmen attacked her, tied her up, and inscribed derogatory messages on her body, including ‘Trump whore’ on her stomach. She also alleged that the attackers referenced her employment with New Jersey Republican Representative Jefferson Van Drew, though he was not named in the indictment. Greene has been charged with conspiracy to falsely report a violent attack and providing false statements to law enforcement. The incident occurred on July 23, when Greene and her co-conspirator called 911, reporting an ambush by three men. Police found Greene bound with zip ties, her shirt pulled over her head, and multiple lacerations on her body. However, inconsistencies in their stories and evidence, including a receipt for a $500 payment to a body modification artist, led investigators to conclude the attack was staged. Greene faces up to 10 years in prison and a $500,000 fine if convicted. A spokesperson for Rep. Van Drew expressed sadness over the news and wished Greene well. Greene was released on a $200,000 bond, and her lawyers have yet to comment.
