"I was in London a month ago and I had a driver who took myself and my assistant from London Heathrow to the hotel, and he recognized me from the photo and he said that he was from Morocco and that if we were in Morocco he would cut my tongue off,” Griffin told CBS’s Luke Burbank.

Griffin told Burbank that given the chance, she would still take the picture again.

"Whether you like it or not, it's the first time a sitting United States president has used the full power of the Oval Office, the first family, the right-wing media and, more importantly, two departments within the Department of Justice to open an investigation on a private citizen who did nothing wrong,” she said. “Didn't violate the First Amendment, didn't break the law."

In 2018, Griffin told CBS's Stephen Colbert she had been investigated by the Secret Service and the assistant U.S. attorney’s office and faced potential charges for conspiracy to assassinate the president of the United States.

The call came the day after Trump tweeted that she “should be ashamed of herself,” according to Griffin.

Griffin earned widespread criticism over posting the graphic photo on Twitter.
