President Trump’s star on the Walk of Fame in Hollywood, Calif., often a target of vandals, was defaced again Wednesday.

Early Wednesday morning, a vandal applied black paint across Trump’s star and then wrote “Putin’s Bitch” across it in white spray paint. TMZ obtained video footage of the vandalism, which appeared to show a second man filming the crime.


The vandalism appeared to be referencing Trump’s relationship with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Special counsel Robert Mueller’s 448-page redacted report was released last week and showed that Trump didn’t collude with Russia during the 2016 presidential election, but did say that Putin’s government did interfere in the election.

This was not the first time Trump’s star was defaced. In December it was vandalized twice in one day, with a man drawing a swastika over it. After the star was cleaned, the same man appeared to return and deface it once more. In July of last year, the star was destroyed by a man wielding a pickaxe.

The star was dedicated to Trump in 2007 for his role in NBC’s hit show “The Apprentice.” The Hollywood Walk of Fame has more than 2,600 stars dedicated to achievement in the entertainment industry.
