After the release of the photo in May 2017, in which Griffin holds a bloodied, severed effigy head of Trump, Griffin was investigated by the Secret Service. Nearly two months later, she announced, she had been cleared. But she maintains the investigation’s scope was unnecessary –- and that the White House was responsible.

On ABC’s “Start Here” podcast, host Brad Mielke asked Griffin if she thought the president personally ordered her to be targeted.

“Of course,” she said. “You know how he works.”

She did not provide any evidence to support her claim. But, Griffin said, “You know, he has a vendetta against certain people.”
