Robert De Niro has been denied a prestigious award after making a speech calling Donald Trump a 'clown' and a 'dictator 'outside of the former president's trial. The actor, 80, joined a Democrat-organised event on Tuesday outside the New York court where Trump was on trial for 34 counts of falsifying business records to cover up an affair before the 2016 presidential election.
They added: 'While we strongly support the right of every American to exercise free speech and participate in civic engagement, it is clear that Mr De Niro's recent high-profile activities will create a distraction from the philanthropic work that we were hoping to recognize. 'To maintain the focus on service of the award winners, Mr. De Niro will no longer be attending the event.' De Niro responded in a statement to US outlet The Hill, and said he supports the NAB.
