“I sincerely apologize. I’m just now seeing the reaction of these images. I’m a comic; I cross the line… The image is too disturbing. I understand how it offends people. It wasn’t funny. I get it,” she said in a video. “I beg for your forgiveness. I went too far. I made a mistake and I was wrong.”

The comedian broke down during a press conference, saying the president and his family were out to get her. “What’s happening to me has never happened ever in the history of this great country, which is that a sitting President of the United States and his grown children and the First Lady are personally, I feel, personally trying to ruin my life forever, forever,” she said. “You guys know him. He’s never going to stop.”

Griffin’s reps have not commented on the current status of the investigation, but at that time, her lawyers confirmed that she planned to “fully cooperate” with the Secret Service.
