In the bulletin, federal officials said that the threats are being made \u201cprimarily online and across multiple platforms, including social media sites, web forums, video sharing platforms, and image boards,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/mar-a-lago-search-fbi-threat-law-enforcement\/\">according to CBS News<\/a>, and that they observed individuals identifying law enforcement targets and doxxing their sensitive information online. <\/p>\n<p id=\"oGNOOX\">The bulletin comes as Trump and his Republican allies have personally attacked the FBI for executing a search warrant on the former president\u2019s Florida home last Monday. Trump himself has repeatedly targeted the FBI on <a href=\"https:\/\/truthsocial.com\/@realDonaldTrump\/108818848101510561\">his social media platform Truth Social<\/a>, baselessly accusing officials of planting evidence or working with Democrats to \u201cdirty up\u201d Republican opponents. <\/p>\n<div class=\"c-float-right\">\n<aside id=\"lLzgAE\"><q>The bulletin comes as Trump and his Republican allies have personally attacked the FBI for executing a search warrant on the former president\u2019s Florida<\/q><\/aside>\n<\/div>\n<p id=\"kUkqY5\">The same joint alert specifically noted an incident that took place in Cincinnati, Ohio last week in which an individual named Ricky Shiffer Jr. attempted to break into an FBI Field Office with an AR-style rifle and nail gun just three days after the Mar-a-Lago search. Hours before the attack, which led to a standoff with the FBI, Shiffer reportedly used the Truth Social platform to post messages advocating for violence against law enforcement. <\/p>\n<p id=\"mFbnMh\">\u201cWhen they come for you, kill them,\u201d Shiffer <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/mar-a-lago-search-fbi-threat-law-enforcement\/\">appeared to say<\/a> in a post that has now been removed. \u201cBe an American, not a steer.\u201d<\/p>\n<p id=\"VpC8gD\">Deceptively edited photos and videos have also gone viral across social media over the week following the search. While guest-hosting <em>Tucker Carlson Tonight<\/em> on Fox News last week, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/news\/2022\/08\/12\/brian-kilmeade-judge-trump-warrant-00051527\">Brian Kilmeade showed a fake image of Judge Bruce Reinhart<\/a>, who signed off on the FBI\u2019s search warrant, sitting beside convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell. Kilmeade later said that the show was \u201cshowing a meme in jest.\u201d <\/p>\n<p id=\"yazCyL\">On Friday, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/article\/factcheck-hannity-desantis\/fact-check-altered-fox-news-segment-showing-sean-hannity-with-ron-desantis-idUSL1N2ZR0XS\">a fake video purporting to show<\/a> another Fox<em> <\/em>host, Sean Hannity, arguing with Florida Governor Ron DeSantis over the definition of an FBI \u201craid.\u201d But the discussion never took place. Instead, the video was spliced together footage from a recent Hannity segment and footage of DeSantis filmed nearly two years ago. Hours after the video gained traction on Twitter, the platform placed a \u201cmanipulated media\u201d label on the post. <\/p>\n<p id=\"DHRiNk\">The baseless accusations and threats reached a fever pitch on Monday when <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/trump-says-he-will-do-whatever-he-can-to-help-the-country-after-fbi-raid\">Trump warned <em>Fox News Digital<\/em><\/a><em> <\/em>that \u201cPeople are so angry at what is taking place.\u201d He continued, \u201cWhatever we can do to help \u2014 because the temperature has to be brought down in the country. If it isn\u2019t, terrible things are going to happen\u2026 The people of this country are not going to stand for another scam.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><code><br \/><\/br><\/code><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2022\/8\/15\/23306860\/trump-mar-a-lago-search-raid-fbi-dhs-online-threats\">https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2022\/8\/15\/23306860\/trump-mar-a-lago-search-raid-fbi-dhs-online-threats<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Source: Federal authorities are warning of a surge in online threats against law enforcement officials following the FBI\u2019s search of former President Donald Trump\u2019s Mar-a-Lago home in Florida last week.
