This is quite bizarre. A former congressional staffer for Republican Rep. Jeff Van Drew, has been charged for allegedly staging her own assault. Prosecutors have claimed former congressional staffer Natalie Greene paid someone $500 to cut her dozens of times. CNN provided more details on the bizarre crime: A former congressional staffer has been charged for allegedly staging her own violent assault, for which she paid someone $500 to slice dozens of cuts into her body, according to prosecutors. Natalie Greene, who once worked for GOP Rep. Jeff Van Drew, according to his office, is now facing charges of conspiracy and making false statements to law enforcement. The Justice Department alleges that on the night of July 23, Greene’s co-conspirator — a woman who was not named in the criminal complaint — called 911 to report that she and Greene were attacked by three men in Egg Harbor Township, New Jersey. The co-conspirator claimed that the attackers referred to Greene by name and knew that she worked in Van Drew’s office. The Justice Department does not mention Van Drew by name in the complaint, calling him “Federal Official 1,” but the congressman’s office told CNN that Greene was once employed in his office. CNN has reached out to Greene’s attorney for comment. When law enforcement officers responded to the scene along a trail in a nature preserve, they found Greene “in a wooded area,” crying and screaming with her hands and feet bound with zip ties, and dozens of cuts on her body, including her face and chest, according to court documents. Two messages were written in black marker on her body: “TRUMP WHORE” on her stomach and Van Drew “IS RACIST” on her back. Investigators said in the complaint that Greene claimed the men who allegedly attacked her said they had a gun and “threatened to shoot her.” She told authorities she was held down while the men cut her and wrote on her body. The Justice Department said the investigation revealed that Greene had paid “a body modification/scarification artist” to make the cuts to her body before the staged attack. VAN DREW STAFFER FAKED ATTACK, PAID $500 TO CARVE ‘TRUMP WHORE’ ON HERSELF Federal prosecutors charged 26-year-old Natalie Greene with staging an elaborate hoax where she claimed three men assaulted her for working for Rep.

Boy howdy, when white people fake crimes, they put the work in. This bitch hired a Hollywood scarification SFX artist for lifelike scars! https://t.co/MOp1xUxpsD — MILO (@Nero) November 20, 2025 The New Jersey Globe had these details to add to the story: Natalie Greene, a Rutgers law student, allegedly concocted the hoax in July, with an accomplice making a late-night 911 call to report that she had been ambushed by three men on a nature trail in Egg Harbor Township. Police officers found Greene bound with black zip ties, her shirt pulled over her head, and the political slurs scrawled across her torso. She told police that her supposed attackers had a gun and threatened to shoot her, and struck her in the head. Prosecutors say nearly every detail was fabricated. Greene allegedly drove to Pennsylvania and paid a body-modification artist $500 to carve the wounds on her face, neck, and upper body, using a pattern she had provided in advance. Investigators later found matching zip ties in her Maserati SUV. Cellphone records showed that two days before the purported attack, her co-conspirator searched online for “zip ties near me,” a discovery authorities cited as further proof that the incident was staged. She said one or more of her attackers had held her down, cutting her and writing on her body. Several days later, after receiving medical treatment for her wounds, Greene was again asked to describe her alleged attack to law enforcement officers, including an agent with the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Interviews of Greene and the co-conspirator did not match. Investigators used cell tower locations to obtain video footage and evidence that she went to a Dollar Store in Ventnor to purchase zip ties. Greene appeared before U.S. Magistrate Judge Elizabeth Pascal earlier today and was charged with one count of conspiracy to convey false statements and hoaxes and one count of making false statements to federal law enforcement, according to Acting U.S. Attorney and Special Attorney Alina Habba. She was released on a $200,000 unsecured bond. The complaint did not identify the federal official, but the New Jersey Globe has confirmed that it was Van Drew. The co-conspirator has not been identified. She began working part-time for Van Drew in 2022 and later served as his constituent advocate. She started law school last fall.

This is a bit unusual. A new report by CNN has revealed President Trump and Vice President JD Vance were not invited to former Vice President Dick Cheney’s funeral. Despite former presidents George W. Bush and Joe Biden getting an invite to the funeral the sitting President and Vice President were not extended an invite. CNN broke the story of Trump and Vance not getting an invite: Past presidents and politicians of both parties will gather Thursday in Washington, DC, for former Vice President Dick Cheney’s funeral — sending off a key figure of pre-MAGA Republican politics. But neither President Donald Trump nor Vice President JD Vance were invited to Cheney’s funeral, according to a source familiar with the matter. Cheney will receive full military honors at the memorial service, which is expected to be a bipartisan who’s who of Washington dignitaries. More than 1,000 guests are expected at the invitation-only funeral Thursday morning at Washington’s National Cathedral — including all four living former vice presidents and two former presidents. Former presidents George W. Bush and Joe Biden will pay their respects, along with former vice presidents Kamala Harris, Mike Pence, Al Gore and Dan Quayle. There are also expected to be a number of Supreme Court Justices, including Chief Justice John Roberts and Justices Brett Kavanaugh and Elena Kagan. A large number of past and present Cabinet members from both Republican and Democratic administrations will also attend, as well as congressional leaders from both sides of the aisle.Speaker Emeritus Nancy Pelosi is expected to attend along with Senate Majority Leader John Thune and former leader Mitch McConnell. The White House has confirmed the report: A senior WH official confirms President Trump was not invited to attend VP Dick Cheney’s funeral tomorrow. @weijia pic.twitter.com/0K3Ev1BgtM — Ryan Sprouse (@RSprouseNews) November 20, 2025 The New York Post noted Trump did not offer any condolences for Cheney: The White House offered no public condolences Tuesday on the death of former Vice President Dick Cheney — saying flags were lowered to half-staff at the executive mansion because the law requires it. President Trump has repeatedly attacked Cheney, who died Monday at age 84, as a “warmonger” and sparred with his daughter, former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) who served as the top Republican on the House select committee that investigated Trump’s role in the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot. Both Dick and Liz Cheney endorsed then-Vice President Kamala Harris in last year’s election, with the former VP saying Trump was the greatest threat to the country since its founding. “Last I checked, the president had not commented on the death of former Vice President Dick Cheney. Is the White House involved in the funeral arrangements in any way?” White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt was asked during her regular briefing. Leavitt tersely replied: “I don’t believe the White House is involved in that planning, or at least hasn’t gotten to it yet. I know the president is aware of the former vice president’s passing, and as you saw, flags have been lowered to half staff in according to a statutory law.”

This was a bizarre move by Representative Clay Higgins. On Tuesday Republican lawmaker Clay Higgins of Louisiana was the lone lawmaker to vote no on the release of the Epstein Files. Now Higgins has revealed why he decided to vote no. The Hill reported more on Higgin’s bizarre move and shared details on his explanation on why he decided to vote no on the bill: Rep. Clay Higgins (R-La.) was the only House member to vote against a bill Tuesday that will order the Justice Department to release files related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Higgins, a conservative with a background in law enforcement, said he’s been a “principled ‘NO’” on the Epstein Files Transparency Act “from the beginning.” “As written, this bill reveals and injures thousands of innocent people — witnesses, people who provided alibis, family members, etc,” he wrote Tuesday in a statement on social platform X. “If enacted in its current form, this type of broad reveal of criminal investigative files, released to a rabid media, will absolutely result in innocent people being hurt,” the Louisiana Republican added. “Not by my vote.” The lawmaker in his official bio touts himself as “one of the most conservative members of Congress” and often leans into his law enforcement background. He’s also a member of the House Freedom Caucus and serves as chair of the House Oversight and Government Reform Federal Law Enforcement Subcommittee, where he’s tasked with investigating corruption. Throughout his involvement in politics, Higgins has remained lockstep with key principles that “champion for smaller government, lower taxes, secure borders, and individual freedoms,” according to his website. He has close ties with organizations that advance those core components, including the Three Percenters, which are known for promoting a decentralized and anti-government movement, in addition to the Oath Keepers, who define themselves as a far-right anti-government militia. The House voted nearly unanimously to release all federal investigative materials on Jeffrey Epstein. Louisiana Rep.

Clay Higgins (@RepClayHiggins) November 18, 2025 Here’s Higgin’s full response: I have been a principled “NO” on this bill from the beginning. What was wrong with the bill three months ago is still wrong today. It abandons 250 years of criminal justice procedure in America. As written, this bill reveals and injures thousands of innocent people – witnesses, people who provided alibis, family members, etc. If enacted in its current form, this type of broad reveal of criminal investigative files, released to a rabid media, will absolutely result in innocent people being hurt. Not by my vote. The Oversight Committee is conducting a thorough investigation that has already released well over 60,000 pages of documents from the Epstein case. That effort will continue in a manner that provides all due protections for innocent Americans. If the Senate amends the bill to properly address privacy of victims and other Americans, who are named but not criminally implicated, then I will vote for that bill when it comes back to the House.
