00:00A former Republican aide in New Jersey is being accused of perpetrating a really bizarre political

00:07hoax. Seriously, this is a weird one. The aide who had worked for Congressman Jeff Van Drew

00:12allegedly had a fetish artist, I guess that's a thing, mutilate her body using a scalpel,

00:19then had an accomplice write the words Trump whore on her stomach, and then claimed she had

00:26been attacked. Federal prosecutors aren't calling that whole peculiar ordeal an attack at all,

00:31but instead a staged political stunt. 26-year-old Natalie Green was arrested this week and charged

00:37with masterminding the bogus attack in a Jersey Shore nature reserve back in July. Green claimed

00:42three gun-wielding men approached her and a friend on a trail at about 10.30 at night. She said they

00:48threatened to shoot her and then struck her in the head. Her attackers hogtied her with black zip ties

00:54and held her down while slashing her face and body before adding the message about the president

00:59because of her job, or at least that's the tall tale she allegedly told investigators.

01:05Now, Green is a law student at Rutgers University and, like I mentioned,

01:08previously worked for Van Drew. She now faces up to a decade behind bars if she's found guilty.
