Daniel Kretsinger, of Hauppauge, New York, posted two vile and menacing videos to X on June 30, threatening violence against Pirro and further suggesting he may additionally attempt to assassinate President Trump, according to a criminal complaint filed earlier this month in the US District Court for the Eastern District of New York.

"I'm gonna come to DC very f-kin soon sweetheart and I'm gonna put a bullet in your f-kin head, " the crazed man remarked, according to the complaint. "I love you, you evil lying dirt bag thieving f-king b-h!" Kretsinger was located and interviewed by law enforcement on July 9.

During the interview, he acknowledged the X account where the two videos were posted was his and that he had previously traveled to Washington, DC, Florida and Long Island "in efforts to find" Pirro.

Meanwhile, an arrest warrant for Kretsinger was issued on Aug. 7. He is facing charges of transmitting a threat to injure a person throughout state lines, a violation of federal law that carries a maximum five-year prison sentence.

"No one should ever be threatened or targeted for violence. Public authorities are no exception, and we commend the United States Marshals Service for its swift action, " a spokesperson for Pirro's office informed The Post.
