She and her husband George Clooney have made no secret about their support for the US Democrat Party.
And now in the lead-up to the Presidential Election, Amal Clooney has spoken about her concern for if Republican front-runner Donald Trump wins over Hilary Clinton.
The human rights lawyer was speaking during a BBC News interview on Tuesday when she shared she was "perplexed" about much of the argument he's making as part of his campaign.
Lebanese-born Amal didn't directly address Trump by name but explained why she is confused about his views.
"When you listen to what the leading Republican candidate has been saying about building walls, about excluding Mexicans and saying there has to be a complete shutdown on all Muslims entering…If you actually look at what specifically said in that now-infamous speech about Muslims, he kept saying: 'They only want Jihad', 'They don't believe in our way of life', 'They don't respect our system'," she explained.
"You watch the media coverage afterwards and people, I think, should've been saying, 'Do you mean the 1.5 billion people around the world who fit that description? Do you mean the people who are US citizens? Those who are members of your military?"
Adding that the majority of those who follow the Islamic faith are not violent or extremists, she commented that if the States ends up getting their first female President, it would send a positive message to him.
