The comedian's lawyer Lisa Bloom announced on Twitter Thursday that Griffin had hired her in the wake of the incident and that the two would be holding a press conference at 9am in her Los Angeles office.
Bloom also stated that Griffin would 'explain the true motivation behind the image, and respond to bullying from the Trump family that she has endured.'

Kathy Griffin accused President Donald Trump and his family of launching a campaign to destroy her life in response to the image she posted earlier this week in which she appeared to be holding the commander-in-chief's severed head.
The comedian broke down in tears as she detailed the torrent of abuse she has been receiving online, and the constant death threats which she described as detailed and specific.
She stated however that she will not back down from this fight, saying: 'I am not afraid of Donald Trump. He is a bully.'
Later in the interview Griffin said that her career was likely now over as a result of this incident and that President Trump had 'broke' her, moments after she declared: 'There's a bunch of old white guys trying to silence me!'
Her lawyer Lisa Bloom also suggested at one point during the press conference that despite reports, Barron was likely not that upset after seeing the image of Griffin with the decapitated head by stating the child was 'allegedly' traumatized
Interesting footnote to this whinefest: her lawyer, Lisa bloom, is the daughter of legal gadfly and professional publicity seeker Gloria Allred. Also the credibility of these reports must be taken into question as several times, for unclear reasons, they both refer to Griffin as "The comedian".
