Ex-NJ GOP aide ordered to get mental help after allegedly brutalizing herself in fake anti-Trump attack

The New Jersey GOP aide accused of staging a sick, politically motivated attack on herself has been ordered to undergo “residential treatment” at an inpatient mental health facility, court documents show.

Maserati-driving, ex-law school student Natalie Greene was charged last month for allegedly staging the phony assault in which her assailants supposedly held her at gunpoint, carved up her skin and wrote “Trump Whore” on her stomach.

In actuality, Greene, 26, who worked as the aide for Rep. Jeff Van Drew (R-NJ), hired a fetish artist to cut the skin on her face, neck, chest, shoulder and stomach, including having him scrawl “Van Drew is a racist” on her body as part of the bogus ambush at Egg Harbor Township Nature Reserve on July 23, prosecutors alleged.

She was released on $200,000 bond with GPS tracking via an ankle bracelet on Nov. 19.

But Camden federal Magistrate Judge Elizabeth Pascal ordered Greene on Nov. 26 to report to pretrial services to have her ankle bracelet removed while she receives inpatient treatment.

Pascal wrote in her order that pretrial services recommended “that defendant submit to residential treatment” and Greene’s lawyer “consented” to it.

Prosecutors said Greene, an Ocean City resident and former Rutgers Law School student, went to Pennsylvania two days prior to the incident and paid a body modification artist $500 to cut the gruesome wounds into her skin with a scalpel.

Then on July 23, Greene had a pal make a 911 call, reporting they were attacked by three men, targeting Greene because of her job with Van Drew, the feds alleged.

When law enforcement found Greene she was laying on the ground in a wooded area off the trail with her hands and feet bound with zip-ties, her shirt pulled over her head and wounds all over her body, prosecutors said.

Greene claimed at least one of her assailants had a gun and threatened to shoot her.

One of the clues that helped cops see through Greene’s alleged ruse was the fact that zip-ties were found in her Maserati SUV. She and her accomplice allegedly gave conflicting accounts of the events, prosecutors said.

Greene is charged with conspiracy to convey false statements and hoaxes and making false statements to federal law enforcement.

She faces up to ten years behind bars and a $250,000 fine if convicted on both counts.

Greene’s lawyer, Louis Barbone, previously told The Post in a statement that she is “presumed innocent.”

Barbone and the New Jersey US Attorney’s office didn’t immediately return requests for comment Wednesday morning.
