After Mar-a-Lago search, authorities warn of threats to the judge and others involved
Federal officials warned in a new bulletin that law enforcement officers and others in the government are facing increasing threats after last week's unprecedented search of former President Donald Trump's residence at Mar-a-Lago.
The joint intelligence bulletin from the Departments of Justice and Homeland Security was released Friday and obtained by ABC News. It was disseminated "in light of an increase in threats and acts of violence, including armed encounters, against law enforcement, judiciary, and government personnel, in reaction to the FBI's recent execution of a court-authorized search warrant in Palm Beach, Florida," officials wrote.
The bulletin links the latest concerns of possible violence with a broader polarization in society, driven in part by statements from lawmakers themselves.
"Since the search, the FBI and DHS have observed an increase in violent threats posted on social media against federal officials and facilities, including a threat to place a so-called dirty bomb in front of FBI Headquarters and issuing general calls for 'civil war' and 'armed rebellion,'" officials wrote in the bulletin.
