GOP staffer found with Trump sex slur written on stomach and hands zip tied… before she’s accused of elaborate hoax
A glamorous staffer for a GOP Congresswoman was found crying and bound with zip ties that read ‘Trump wh—‘ across her stomach and cut across her face, neck, chest and shoulders at a New Jersey nature preserve.
Natalie Greene, 26, had frantically called 911 from the walkway after she said three men, one carrying a firearm, attacked her and threatened to shoot her while calling out her boss’s name.
He said the attack followed threats he received while working in the congressional office of New Jersey Rep. Jeff Van Drew.
But after being questioned by the FBI, Greene’s dramatic story began to unravel, resulting in the young staffer being accused of making false statements to prepare an elaborate hoax.
Law enforcement found Greene in tears and with apparent laceration marks all over her body. His hands, feet and neck were tied with black zippers.
Greene told an FBI agent that two men grabbed him, pulled up his shirt and forced him to the ground before tying him up.
One of the men hit him in the head before cutting and ‘scraping’ his body; The pain was so intense that the woman started screaming.
At this point one of the attackers said he had a gun and told him to stay where he was and keep quiet or they would shoot him. Greene said he didn’t actually see a gun, but he felt an object being pushed into his stomach.
Natalie Greene, 26, had frantically called 911 from the walking path after saying three men had attacked her.
‘TRUMP WH—‘ was written on his stomach and ‘VAN DREW RACIST’ was written on his back.
Greene spent several years as the Republican Congresswoman’s founding director of advocacy.
But that same night, police found extra, similar-looking black zippers on Greene’s Maserati.
Federal investigators later discovered that Green’s accomplice had Googled the phrase ‘zippers near me’ on his cell phone.
After seizing Greene’s cell phone, investigators found a Reddit profile following pages containing “bodymods” and “scarification.”
Elsewhere on his phone was a location map that took him from a tattoo parlor/body modification artist in Pennsylvania to a nature preserve where he was eventually found by police.
He also went to the co-conspirators’ home in Ventnor, a Dunkin Donuts in Atlantic City.
They found a Dollar Store in the town where Greene’s ally lived that sold the same zippers used on him and found in his car.
The signs, which included signs insulting him and calling him a ‘Van Drew racist,’ were found to have been made by the artist, who Greene said paid $500 in cash.
Greene, who worked for years as Van Drew’s founding defender director, took photographs of the scars the artist asked him to make, complete with patterns of scars and cuts all over his face, neck, upper chest and shoulder.

Police found Greene crying in a wooded area off a trail in Egg Harbor Township, with his hands and feet tied together, his shirt pulled over his head, all black zipped up, and claiming one of the attackers had a gun. Police found extra zippers in Greene’s car that night
A federal investigation determined that Greene lied about everything and paid a “body modification” artist to cover the cuts on his body after giving him a mold.
The artist said Greene asked questions about how to prevent additional bleeding from the scar and even took a photo showing her after the body modification process.
Authorities also discovered missed calls and voicemails from the artist telling Greene to contact him on Instagram, as well as release forms, receipts and a waiver dated July 28 that Greene signed for his studio.
Alina Habba, the U.S. attorney for New Jersey and a Trump appointee, charged Greene, a Rutgers Law School student, with one count of conspiracy to communicate false statements and frauds and one count of making false statements to federal law enforcement.
If convicted of both charges, Greene faces up to 10 years in prison, a $500,000 fine and up to 6 years of supervised release.
He made his first appearance in federal court Wednesday and was released on $200,000 unsecured bail.
When the Daily Mail reached Van Drew’s office, a spokesperson said he no longer works for the Congressman.
“While Natalie is no longer associated with the congresswoman’s government agency, our thoughts and prayers are with her and we hope she receives the care she needs,” Paxton Antonucci said.
The Daily Mail has reached out to Greene and her lawyer for comment.

New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy attacked Van Drew after his decision was made public.

Trump praised Van Drew on Twitter, saying the 66-year-old had “courage.”
“Wow, that would be big,” Trump tweeted. I’ve always heard Jeff is very smart!’

Van Drew’s move was successful, as he retained his seat in Congress in three elections after switching parties.
