A comedian who posed as Sen. Bob Menendez, D-N.J., and spoke with President Trump over the phone about a number of hot topics, claims he got a visit from Secret Service following the exchange.
“Secret Service at my door. I guess my old friend Donald wants to continue this. Stay tuned,” Comedian John Melendez, who hosts the podcast “The Stuttering John,” wrote in a tweet early Saturday morning.

Melendez said that after he refused to answer the door, the Secret Service left.
Alright, I didn’t answer & they have left, but my neighbors said they showed their badges.

Melendez, who used to be a regular part of “The Howard Stern Show” where Trump was a frequent guest, claims to have gotten through to the president while he was aboard Air Force One. According to audio of the call, the two discussed a number of issues, including the impending Supreme Court vacancy and the controversial family border separations.
After allegedly getting a few door knocks from the president’s security detail, the comedian continued to make light of the situation. Melendez jokingly pitched a GoFundMe page for his legal fees, and touted that Stormy Daniel’s lawyer, Michael Avenatti, was considering representing him.
