The United States government has issued federal warrants for three high-profile celebrities: Kathy Griffin, Robert DeNiro, and Barbra Streisand. The warrants were issued in response to threats made by the three celebrities against President Donald Trump.
Federal Warrants Issued
The U.S. Department of Justice has issued federal warrants for the arrest of Kathy Griffin, Robert DeNiro, and Barbra Streisand. The warrants were issued in response to threats made by the three celebrities against President Donald Trump.
The warrants were issued on the grounds that the celebrities had violated the Presidential Threat Protection Act, which prohibits any threats made against the President of the United States. The warrants call for the arrest of the three celebrities and their subsequent prosecution for the threats made against the President.
Griffin, Deniro, Streisand Threaten President
Kathy Griffin was the first celebrity to make a threat against President Trump. On social media, Griffin posted a picture of herself holding a bloody, severed head of the President. The post sparked outrage and condemnation from both sides of the political aisle. Griffin later apologized for the post, but the damage had already been done.
Robert DeNiro was next to make a threat against the President. During a live appearance at the Tony Awards, DeNiro called the President a “fool” and a “punk”. He also said that he wished he could punch the President in the face.
Barbra Streisand was the last celebrity to make a threat against the President. During a live performance, Streisand sang a song which included the lyrics, “You better watch out, Donald Trump, ’cause I’m coming for you.”
The threats made by the three celebrities have been taken seriously by the government and the warrants issued are a clear indication of that. It remains to be seen how the situation will play out, but it is clear that the government is taking these threats very seriously.
