US Secret Service investigates comedienne over bloody head of Trump
The US Secret Service is currently investigating a photo shoot of a bloody head of Donald Trump put up by comedienne Kathy Griffin in an apparent joke she intended to amuse her fans.
According to TMZ, the Secret Service has launched an investigation into “the circumstances surrounding the photo shoot” by the comedienne who has apologised following the backlash she received after she put up the picture.

The picture shot by famed photographer Tyler Shields is not considered as art by the Secret Service which is also not jumping into conclusions that incendiary photos or writings are serious or in jest.
Meanwhile Trump has just lashed out at Griffin for her photo shoot featuring a beheaded, bloody mannequin in his image, saying she has messed up his 11-year-old son.
Trump tweeted, “Kathy Griffin should be ashamed of herself. My children, especially my 11 year old son, Barron, are having a hard time with this. Sick.”
