Rosie O’Donnell Says Irish Citizenship Approval Nears as White House Cheers Move

The comedian calls the relocation a political exile, citing constitutional protections for her birthright status.

Overview

  • In a new interview, O’Donnell said her Irish citizenship application is in process and “about to be approved” based on her grandparents’ Irish roots.
  • She relocated to Ireland in January and describes her stay as a self-imposed political exile.
  • White House spokesperson Abigail Jackson responded to the development by saying, “What great news for America!”
  • President Trump has repeatedly threatened on Truth Social to take away her U.S. citizenship, but legal precedent holds that a president cannot strip birthright citizenship.
  • O’Donnell says she will keep her American nationality and pursue dual status, and she recently skipped her daughter’s U.S. graduation after security advisers urged caution.
