Overview
- On the No Filter podcast, O’Donnell said security advisers urged her not to return to the U.S. for daughter Vivienne’s college graduation, warning she could be used to rile the president’s base.
- O’Donnell has lived in Ireland since January and says she will return to the United States only when it is safe for her and her family.
- Trump wrote on Truth Social in July—and again in a recent post—that he was giving serious consideration to taking away O’Donnell’s citizenship.
- Coverage cites the 14th Amendment and longstanding Supreme Court precedent to note that a president lacks authority to strip birthright citizenship without voluntary renunciation.
- O’Donnell said she fears justices she called Trump’s “pawns” could enable such actions, as White House spokespeople continued to publicly deride her in comments to media outlets.
