Rosie O'Donnell tears into Donald Trump claiming he's on the Epstein client list after he threatened to revoke her citizenship
The former host of The View posted a series of posts on Saturday claiming Trump was on Jeffrey Epstein's client list and was a guest at the sex trafficker's island after the president hit out at the comedian expatriate.
'Because of the fact that Rosie O'Donnell is not in the best interests of our Great Country, I am giving serious consideration to taking away her Citizenship,' Mr Trump wrote via Truth Social on Saturday.
'She is a Threat to Humanity, and should remain in the wonderful Country of Ireland, if they want her. GOD BLESS AMERICA.'
O'Donnell went on a social media blitz of posts and fired back in a lengthy response towards the US President.
'The president of the USA has always hated the fact that I see him for who he is - a criminal con man sexual abusing liar out to harm our nation to serve himself - this is why I moved to Ireland - he is a dangerous old soulless man with dementia who lacks empathy compassion and basic humanity,' O'Donnell said.
She wrote that she stands 'in direct opposition all he represents,' noting that 'so do millions of others' and asked 'u gonna deport all who stand against ur evil tendencies".
The 63-year-old concluded the post by calling Trump a 'bad joke who can't form a coherent sentence' and added the hashtag "#nevertrump".
In a flurry of posts the former TV host hit back again and asked Trump if he was rattled again.
'Hey Donald – you're rattled again? 18 years later and I still live rent-free in that collapsing brain of yours,' O'Donnell said.
'You call me a threat to humanity – but I'm everything you fear: a loud woman, a queer woman, a mother who tells the truth, an American who got out of the country b4 u set it ablaze.
'You build walls –I build a life for my autistic kid in a country where decency still exists.
'You crave loyalty –I teach my children to question power.
'You sell fear on golf courses –I make art about surviving trauma.
'You lie, you steal, you degrade –I nurture, I create, I persist.'
O'Donnell added Trump is 'everything that is wrong America' and she was everything he hated about what was still good about the United States.
'You want to revoke my citizenship? go ahead and try, king joffrey with a tangerine spray tan.
'I'm not yours to silence I never was.'
The actress announced in March, she moved to Ireland following Trump's second term in office in November.
The re-ignited feud between Trump and O'Donnell comes after US Attorney General Pam Bondi is facing heavy scrutiny after the Department of Justice revealed there is no Jeffrey Epstein client list.
'She is stuttering and spluttering all over her words, and it's not really clear what she is trying to accomplish,' UnHerd newsroom editor James Billot told Sky News Digital Presenter Gabriella Power.
'I completely understand why the MAGA base is in uproar about this.'

Bombshell claims link Obama-era cabal to ‘treasonous conspiracy' against Trump
Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard has made bombshell claims linking an Obama-era cabal targeting US President Donald Trump. Gabbard described 'striking' findings from declassified documents last Friday, which showed evidence linking the Obama-era cabal to the Russia collusion probe. According to Gabbard, the 'overwhelming evidence' found in the documents proved Obama 'directed' the 'treasonous conspiracy' against Trump. The DNI's comments came during an appearance on Fox News' 'Sunday Morning Futures' with host Maria Bartiromo. 'Over 100 documents that we released on Friday really detail and provide evidence of how this treasonous conspiracy was directed by President Obama just weeks before he was due to leave office, after President Trump had already gotten elected,' Gabbard said. 'This is not a Democrat or Republican issue. This is an issue that is so serious it should concern every single American because it has to do with the integrity of our democratic republic.' According to Gabbard, the declassified documents revealed before the 2016 election, there was no evidence to prove that Russia altered the vote count.

Epstein grand jury transcripts 'a distraction'
Grand jury transcripts in the prosecution of Jeffrey Epstein and his former girlfriend are unlikely to reveal much, if anything, that is not already known about the financier's crimes, former federal prosecutors say. Attorney Sarah Krissoff, an assistant US attorney in Manhattan from 2008 to 2021, called the request in the prosecutions of Epstein and imprisoned British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell "a distraction". "The president is trying to present himself as if he's doing something here and it really is nothing," Krissoff told The Associated Press. Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche made the request on Friday, US time, asking judges to unseal transcripts from grand jury proceedings that resulted in indictments against Epstein and Maxwell. Blanche said "transparency to the American public is of the utmost importance to this administration". The request came as the administration sought to contain the firestorm that followed its announcement it would not be releasing additional files from the Epstein probe despite previously promising it would. US President Donald Trump faces increased scrutiny about his relationship with Epstein, the disgraced financier and sex offender who died by suicide in a New York jail cell in 2019. The Epstein case has generated conspiracy theories that became popular among Trump's base of supporters who believed the government was covering up Epstein's ties to the rich and powerful. Some of Trump's most loyal followers became furious after his administration reversed course on its promise to release files related to the Epstein investigation. Meanwhile, Trump is suing the Wall Street Journal and its owners, including Rupert Murdoch, after the newspaper reported that he in 2003 sent Epstein a birthday greeting that included a sexually suggestive drawing and a reference to secrets they shared. Epstein killed himself at age 66 in his federal jail cell in 2019, a month after his arrest on sex trafficking charges, while Maxwell, 63, is serving a 20-year prison sentence imposed after her 2021 sex trafficking conviction for luring girls to be sexually abused by Epstein. Krissoff and Joshua Naftalis, a Manhattan federal prosecutor for 11 years before entering private practice in 2023, said grand jury presentations are purposely brief. Naftalis said prosecutors present just enough to a grand jury to get an indictment but "it's not going to be everything the FBI and investigators have figured out about Maxwell and Epstein". "People want the entire file from however long. That's just not what this is," he said, estimating that the transcripts, at most, probably amount to a few hundred pages. "It's not going to be much," Krissoff said, estimating the length at as little as 60 pages, "because the Southern District of New York's practice is to put as little information as possible into the grand jury". "They basically spoon-feed the indictment to the grand jury. That's what we're going to see," she said. "I just think it's not going to be that interesting ... I don't think it's going to be anything new." Both ex-prosecutors said grand jury witnesses in Manhattan are usually federal agents summarising their witness interviews. Krissoff predicted that judges who presided over the Epstein and Maxwell cases will reject the government's request. "This is not a 50-, 60-, 80-year-old case," Krissoff noted. "There's still someone in custody." Cheryl Bader, a former federal prosecutor and Fordham Law School criminal law professor, said judges who presided over the Epstein and Maxwell cases may take weeks or months to rule. "Especially here where the case involved witnesses or victims of sexual abuse, many of which are underage, the judge is going to be very cautious about what the judge releases," she said. Mitchell Epner, a former federal prosecutor now in private practice, called Trump's comments and influence in the Epstein matter "unprecedented" and "extraordinarily unusual" because he is a sitting president.
