Secret Service Probes Ex-'Dukes of Hazzard' Star Over Alleged Threats Against President
-
John Schneider, former Dukes of Hazzard star, made threatening statements against President Biden and his son Hunter in a now-deleted social media post.
-
The Secret Service has opened a probe into Schneider's statements, which called for the public hanging of Joe Biden and accused him of treason.
-
Schneider insists he never actually threatened Biden, but the Secret Service says his comments meet the definition of a threat.

Threatening the president is a federal felony punishable by up to 5 years in prison and $250,000 in fines.

Schneider was recently unmasked on The Masked Singer and has been an outspoken conservative critic of Biden. His wife and manager Alicia Allain passed away in February.
