8:22 AM PT -- Natalie Greene's lawyer, Louis Barbone, tells TMZ ... "At the age of 26, my client served her community working full time to assist the constituents of the Congressman with loyalty and fidelity. She did that while being a full-time student. Under the law, she is presumed innocent and reserves all of her defenses for presentation in a court of law."

After a New Jersey woman reported she was zip-tied and slashed all over her body, with the words "Trump Whore" carved into her stomach ... authorities say she made the whole thing up, and even paid an artist to cut her skin to help sell the fabricated attack.

In court papers obtained by TMZ, federal prosecutors say the 26-year-old woman paid $500 to have a body modification artist she found on Instagram to expertly slice her up with a scalpel. Natalie Greene -- a former aide to a GOP Congressman -- is now facing charges.

Greene claimed 3 armed men attacked her and a friend on July 23 at Egg Harbor Township Nature Reserve in New Jersey. She said they threatened to shoot her before striking her in the head, tying her with zip-ties, and carving up her face and body. She also claimed they wrote political slurs on her stomach and back. Check out the photos.

It looks like Kim Kardashian got the last laugh in the bidding war over the Bible her late father Robert Kardashian gave O.J. Simpson back in the day ... 'cause it's back in the family!

The Skims founder revealed on this week's "The Kardashians" episode she anonymously bid $80,000 for the Bible her dad gifted to O.J. following the murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman. The Bible was special because it was her dad's personal scripture and had his name etched in gold lettering on the front, plus a handwritten note from him.

We told you all about her first attempt at buying the Bible -- she offered $15,000 to the late O.J.'s estate ... but it rejected the offer. She then spoke about the situation on her family's hit Hulu series and said she would have negotiated further -- which the estate did not appreciate.
