A Hoax? - Natalie Greene

Former GOP staffer Natalie Greene was charged after allegedly staging a politically motivated hoax on July 23, 2025, in New Jersey. Greene was found zip-tied with political slurs written on her body and cuts she claimed came from an ambush. Investigators found the wounds were possibly self-inflicted scarification performed by a paid artist, leading to charges of conspiracy and making false statements to federal law enforcement.
