George Clooney fired back at the White House after Communications Director Steven Cheung released a statement condemning the two-time Oscar winner for saying President Donald Trump committed a “war crime” by threatening to erase “a whole civilization” unless Iran agreed to his ceasefire deal that was subsequently reached.

In a statement to The Independent about Clooney’s criticism, Cheung said, “The only person committing war crimes is George Clooney for his awful movies and terrible acting ability.”
