Comedian Kathy Griffin, who tweeted a notorious fake image of a beheaded Trump in 2017, crowed over the indictment.

"It's finally happening," she tweeted Thursday.

Horror maestro Stephen King took a somber tone.

"Wise up, Republicans. Don't believe the lies," the author tweeted to his over 7 million followers. "This isn't political. Donald Trump did this to himself. He betrayed your trust."
