Comedian claims Secret Service visited him after he tricked Trump into phone call

Comedian John Melendez claimed in a series of tweets late Friday night that the Secret Service came to his door after he says he tricked President Trump into speaking with him on the phone.

“Secret Service at my door,” Melendez tweeted. “I guess my old friend Donald wants to continue this. Stay tuned.”

Melendez made headlines Friday after he uploaded audio to his podcast, “The Stuttering John Podcast,” purporting to reveal him posing as Sen. Bob Menendez (D-N.J.) and briefly speaking with the president about immigration.

Melendez blasted the Secret Service attempt to arrest him as “unbelievable,” tweeting that they should arrest presidential adviser and son-in-law Jared Kushner “for putting the call through.”

“Shame on Donald Trump who has been a friend of mine for years,” he tweeted.

The comedian said that he did not answer the door and the agents left without arresting him, but that his neighbors “said they showed their badges.”

Melendez also said that Michael Avenatti, the lawyer representing adult-film star Stormy Daniels in her lawsuit against Trump, has offered to represent him if necessary.
