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 also 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.

“Because you’re such a lying despicable piece of s–t,” Kretsinger allegedly said in a terrifying video replying to an X post from Pirro’s account, “I’m specifically targeting you when I come to Washington, D.C., and put a bullet directly between your eyes c–t.”

Kretsinger, who was shirtless and appeared enraged in the video, then warned: “And if Trump keeps up his bulls–t I may kill the president too.”

In a second video posted minutes later, Kretsinger allegedly doubled down on his threat to kill the DC US attorney.

“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 said, 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.

Court documents say when law enforcement found and interviewed Kretsinger on Long Island, he admitted the X account belonged to him and acknowledged that he had previously traveled to Washington, D.C., Florida and Long Island looking for the employee.

Kretsinger was arrested and accused of interstate communication of a threat to injure.

An order setting out the conditions of his release said that Kretsinger can’t leave New York City or Long Island and that he has to stay in an in-patient treatment program.

He was also ordered not to use social media.
