Jason Leopold Recalls Secret Service Investigating Eminem

Investigative reporter Jason Leopold uncovered government documents through a Freedom of Information Act request revealing that federal agents previously opened an investigation into Eminem over lyrics directed at Donald Trump and his family on a song “Framed.”

The Secret Service arranged an official interview in Los Angeles with Eminem and his attorney. The meeting took place after the agency received complaints regarding politically charged songs targeting then former president and his daughter Ivanka.

During the interrogation, agents began reading aloud the rap lyrics in question to evaluate whether they posed a genuine security threat. Rather than giving standard answers, Eminem recited his own lyrics right back to the federal officers during the session.

Recounting the bizarre encounter during a podcast appearance, Leopold shared the exact details of what unfolded. He said, “Secret Service insvestigated Eminem years ago. They did arrange interview with Eminem and his attorny in LA. And what was amazing about this is that during the interview agents started reading Eminem’s lyrics about Trump and his daughter and Eminem started rapping back to the agent. This is one of my favorite stories.”
